The Parent Backpack

  • An online, self-paced programme for parents.

  • It will build your skills and capability to parent your young person in new ways.

  • ​It's full of practical strategies and tools so you can do things differently straightaway.

  • Enables you to manage your own mental health and build your resilience in challenging times.

Is Backpack right for YOU?

Do you often feel worried or anxious about your child?

Do you worry about the impact of stress on your work, family and relationships?

Do you feel stuck and unsure of a way forward?

No matter what...

The Parent Backpack programme isn't linked to any particular mental health condition. No matter what the mental health challenge your young person is experiencing, The Parent Backpack will help you.

This is because it's not about solving a specific mental health challenge, it's about supporting your parenting.

Our signature programme.

This programme is not a mental health programme for young people. Participating in it will not make your young person's mental health difficulties go away. It is designed to support you with how you parent your young person during these challenging times, so that your parenting is not part of the problem.
