The Parent Hope manualized program is a research-based clinical intervention for parents and carers of a struggling child. It is a six-session manual with an introduction and review session. It is designed to be used with a trained clinician/coach. It provides a map for parents to discover ways they can change their part in dynamics to support their young person's development of self-regulation, balanced relationship connection, and independence. It engages parents to address their own self-regulation, to support their struggling children.
