Relationship Training For Professionals Working With Families

Amity for Professionals
Just like families themselves, no one approach fits all, and for this reason, we've developed a range of unique and interactive, user-friendly resources designed to help your teams (and the wider multi-agency workforce) apply their learning quickly. Co-production is at the heart of our approach, so when we work with you
we'll take on board your feedback, ideas and needs and build them in as we create new products and resources, and if you want us to we'll also design bespoke tools and resources to meet your specific needs.
Our Relationship Toolkit and Programmes.
This is about changing your whole approach when working on relationships. When you purchase a lifetime licence for our toolkit you can use it for as long as you want. We also include two training options with the package to get your team going.
We can also train you on a range of programmes that complement the toolkit. These programmes are designed to be delivered by practitioners directly to couples or individuals. They include training on how to use them, resources and a full step-by-step programme guide.
Our Self-Help Workbooks
Once purchased you can use these resources across your websites, physical venues and as part of workforce development programmes across your Local Authority area for as long as you want to.
Our Spotlight Sessions
These sessions run across the year, with guest speakers and targeted resources on key topics including working with men and fathers, child-to-parent violence and working with military families.

This popular half-day training supports the frontline workforce to recognise and respond to child-to-parent violence and abuse (also known as adolescent-parent
violence and child-on-parent violence).
It’s been designed to leave practitioners confident in supporting parents to implement strategies and undertake safety planning.
The training explores real, anonymised families affected by this specific, often underreported family difficulty. Throughout the programme, we use case studies and reflect on these families' stories and journeys. The training provides helpful tools and strategies that parents and their children find valuable when making changes.
Working with child to parent violence and abuse.
Our Spotlight Sessions
This extremely popular half-day training session is designed for any practitioner working with children, adults or families. It’s been created in response to questions raised by the wider workforce, people who are keen to recognise the difference between parental conflict and domestic abuse.
The session explores the language used to describe parental conflict and domestic abuse, understanding coercive control, the critical difference between the two concerns and why sometimes there are overlaps. We work through the confusion this can cause and what to do if a practitioner is concerned about either.
Recognising the difference between parental conflict and domestic abuse
This half-day training is useful for anyone who needs to understand more about domestic abuse, including recognising and responding to DA as part of their role.
This training requires some pre-work with your organisation which allows us to personalise content to your local area (including local services and pathways).
The session also includes information about the Domestic Abuse Act, what domestic abuse is, the societal impact of domestic abuse, recognising signs and what to do about disclosures or concerns.
Understanding the effects
of domestic abuse.
This half-day training course is for anyone who wants to develop their understanding of parental conflict and how it affects children.
The session provides participants with a strong awareness of the subject, how to start a conversation with someone about a
relationship facing this challenge and
what to do next.
Understanding the effects
of domestic abuse.
This thought-provoking session is intended to help frontline practitioners think about the role of fathers and other significant men in their lives (partners. stepfathers,
grandads, uncles etc). It describes how best to engage and work with men more confidently and answers a number of key questions:
-
How can we raise our expectations of men as caregivers and change our expectations of their contribution to family life?
-
What happens when we treat men with suspicion?
-
How does our lived and professional experience influence our approach to working with men?
As women continue to be regarded as the prime (and sometimes only) protective carers for their children, how can we shift our thinking so that we get the very best out of men in caregiving roles?
