Parents of young children in particular are under a lot of pressure - and relationships can suffer. Health professionals can really make a difference - and are usually 'turned to' when people encounter problems at home.

Through using our Brief Encounters® brief intervention model, practitioners will gain the confidence to:

  • Manage time skilfully within their busy working day

  • Listen without being overwhelmed

  • Offer effective support

  • Encourage clients to seek their own solutions

  • Make a relevant referral.


Available as:

  • Four-day training in our brief intervention model, enabling the practitioner to limit their involvement while at the same time providing valuable support to the couple's relationship within the family setting. Includes the crib card - a handy tool for exploring relationship stress.

  • Video resource training pack- designed as a half-day workshop for midwifery and health visiting teams. This training can be facilitated in-house or by an external trainer.
