Relationship Training For Professionals Working With Families
Child to parent aggression and abuse
Build confidence in recognising and responding to child-to-parent aggression and abuse (CAPA/CPVA). Our resources provide practical, child-centred approaches that help practitioners understand the drivers of behaviour, improve family relationships, and support safe, effective interventions.
Amity Training and Resources
We have carefully created a comprehensive suite of resources and associated training to suit everyone working with families, adults and children. Our training is delivered by experts either face-to-face, virtually or via our digital learning platform. Some of our self-help resources require no training.
Safe Space: Working with child to parent abuse/unwanted child behaviours
This is a structured resource designed for one-to-one use, guided by practitioners. It is practical in nature and intended for multi-agency practitioners who work with families affected by child-to-parent violence and abuse, as well as those supporting children displaying challenging behaviour. It is suitable for use with parents, caregivers, and their children up to the age of 15.
Spotlight Session: Working With Child to Parent Violence and Abuse
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.
