The Programme follows a mixed-gender co-facilitation model and our trained facilitators follow a strengths-based approach to support parents in the good work that they are already doing. 

It also provides an opportunity for parents to share their experiences of raising children in the stage of preadolescent and adolescent life. 

Alongside the participating parents, their families and wider communities also benefit from this programme as participants share and employ the knowledge, understanding, and skills that they develop through the programme in their daily lives.

The main concepts focused on in the programme include:

  • Families and values
  • Communication skills
  • Behaviours and how we communicate
  • Teenagers and the developmental process
  • Self-esteem: building resilience
  • Feelings: Reaction to Responding
  • Understanding conflict
  • Drugs & Alcohol issues

The Good Enough Parent Programme supports the following Sustainable Development Goals:
