Course Manuals

Most of our courses come in lever-arch manuals. Three of the most popular courses - "Time Out for Parents", "Time Out for Juniors" and "Time Out for Teenagers" - are now available on CD with PowerPoint presentations for simple projection from a laptop computer.

Course manuals include helpful notes for the facilitator with some background theory for each topic. For each session there are learning outcomes and a list of the materials required. Participants will also need the relevant Parents' Handbook.

To run any of our courses, you need to have a Positive Parenting Facilitator Licence.
