Resourceful Adolescent Program – for Parents (RAP-P)

The RAP-P will help you to assist your child to bridge the gap from primary school and childhood to secondary school and adolescence.

RAP-P is for parents of adolescents and the program invites parents to meet, share suggestions and develop positive strategies for enjoying these transition years with your adolescents. Over the three sessions we will cover the following topics:

  • Parents are people too - We identify our strengths and ways to manage our stress.
  • What makes our Teenagers Tick - We learn to understand teenage dilemmas and help teenage development.
  • Positive Family Relationships - We learn how to prevent and manage conflict.

  • Explore ways to improve the self-esteem of their teenagers
