Parenting courses

Who are the courses for?

The course series is for parents of a child with a psychiatric diagnosis. You can either attend alone or with your co-parent. You can choose to take one or all three courses in the series.

The courses help you as a parent in supporting your child best when they have received a psychiatric diagnosis. Parents, alongside professionals, play a crucial role in supporting both the child’s self-understanding and their everyday life, and we assist with:

  • Helping the child understand their diagnosis
  • Balancing the new family life with existing family values
  • Supporting the child’s schooling
  • Ensuring parents take care of themselves

 

What do you get from the courses?

The course series is structured so that you can either attend a single course or participate in all three. The course series provides:

  • Knowledge about diagnoses based on theory and practical experience.
  • Insights that contribute to reflection processes and new perspectives on navigating family life when a child has or receives a psychiatric diagnosis.
  • Presentation of concrete, practical tools and methods you can use when interacting with your child.
  • Peer support and knowledge sharing with other participants.

Course content – Help! My child is struggling

How do I understand my child’s struggles?
January 15, 2026 – 16:00–18:00 – online

This course focuses on how parents themselves can understand their child’s struggles and possible diagnosis/diagnoses. In the course, we talk about whether the struggles should define the family’s everyday life, norms, and values – and whether it is even possible for the family to live an “ordinary” family life. The course equips parents to be curious about considerations they need to take for the child, which do not need to be taken for siblings. It provides insight into how parents can navigate these questions and find balance in everyday family life.

In some cases, parents experience that their relationship and dialogue with their child is difficult and stuck, and that it is hard to help. This course addresses how adults can repair the relationship and discover new opportunities within it. With concrete techniques and tools, the course equips parents for conversations that contribute positively to the child’s self-understanding and identity, and that can help the child create new perspectives on their story.

How do I take care of myself as a parent?
March 19, 2026 – 16:00–18:00 – online

It is completely natural to experience feelings such as frustration, stress, or worry when you have children with challenges, who are struggling, or who have special needs. In the course, we talk about the importance of taking care of yourself and how to incorporate that into a daily life that may feel exhausting, heavy, and full of challenges. The course provides tools for how parents can look after themselves and maintain a healthy balance at home while supporting their child – for example, by accepting difficult emotions, thinking in terms of supportive networks, prioritizing self-care, seeking help, and finding time to relax.
