FREE evidence-based online courses for Parent Carers
Published
Togetherness (formerly known as the Solihull Approach, developed within the NHS) is a way of helping young people, their families and practitioners build strong relationships and understand emotions. It teaches that everyone has feelings and that understanding these feelings can make it easier to communicate, solve problems, and support each other. The Best Start in Life team explains how Gloucestershire families can access these courses - for FREE.
The Togetherness approach encourages kindness, understanding, and working together so that young people feel listened to, supported, and able to thrive. Many organisations across Gloucestershire who support Parent Carers have welcomed the free access to these courses.
