The struggle is real
Most of us are battling in different ways every day, whether it’s single parenting, behavioural problems, financial hardships, social isolation, or past and present trauma. That doesn’t change the fact all want the best for our kids during this critical developmental stage. At Accordwest, we don’t have a magic book on parenting, but we do have your back, thanks to CaPS.
Available in Manjimup and surrounds, CaPS gives families the parenting workshops, family therapy and behavioural support they need to thrive. It’s successful because it looks at family struggles from both ends, encouraging kids to look within themselves to better control their emotions, and empowering parents to better understand their needs so they can set them up for a brighter future.
What to expect
Your family, your way
We’ll ask you about what your goals are and what you hope to accomplish by participating in the program, then work with you to make it happen by pointing you towards the right family support services and resources for both you and your children.
Behavioural support
To succeed as a parent or carer, you need your kids to meet you halfway. We’ll give you the behavioural support you need to boost your child’s ability to cope with challenges, changes and emotions, as well as improve their feelings of wellbeing, safety and resilience.
Ways to improve parenting skills
We’ll help you build a stronger connection and relationships with your child as discover new ways to improve your parenting skills, from learning about boundaries and consistency, to better understanding developmental needs, active listening, and being ‘present’.
Closer, stronger families
Cool, calm and in control – that’s what’s waiting for you. By acting as early as possible, we can identify issues holding your family back, then give you the best referrals to find the right family therapy and parenting support, before the issues turn into bigger problems.
How you’ll get there
Your journey will focus on better understanding the trigger points that lead to the behaviour, and ways you can help each other. Whether one-on-one or in a group, we work with you to identify risk factors, learn new skills, and be more in tune with your child’s needs.
Boost your awareness
Being aware of your child’s needs, their goals, and how to set them is the first step towards building a stronger connection with each other. We’ll also raise your awareness to parenting support services and resources available in the community that meet your needs.
