The Healthy Relationships within Gateshead’s Early Help and Children’s Social Care Teams have a new resource available to parents/carers which is completely free and can be completed digitally via a QR code. All three of the courses are online and parents who wish to access them can work their way through the courses at their own pace, they do not need to complete all in one go, they can save and come back to it later. Parents can do any one of the online courses or all three, depending on their circumstances and needs. To access the online resources parents will need a smart device such as a mobile phone and an internet connection.
Click on the links below to view the course flyers, providing more information about each of the courses available. You can access the online platforms by scanning the QR code on the flyers. The interventions are all around supporting healthy relationships, and we hope that you will be able to take the time to access the free support offered.
