Parent Graduate Group welcomes parents and caregivers who have graduated from Family Group. Unlike Family Group, Parent Graduate Group is just for adults to attend.

Parent Graduate Group gives parents/carers access to a weekly therapist led group where families help families. The group is a confidential space to let off steam, think about problems, and think of ways to do things differently.

The Graduate Group is designed to:

• Maintain an awareness of the process of change
• Resource parents/carers for current and future challenges
• Enable a sense of belonging
• Help parents/carers to make links between ‘separate’ areas of their experience, to help make sense of what is going on in life
• Build confidence, and enable new competencies and skills

Change is always uncomfortable. It involves acting outside your comfort zone.

Graduate Group is a way to embed and sustain positive changes that parents/carers have made through being involved in Family Group.
