Brighter Futures for Children (BFfC) provide a Parenting Service.

The Parenting Service offers a range of evidence based parenting skills and support programmes for parents and carers living in Reading. Courses are run by fully trained and experienced parenting practitioners, many of whom are parents themselves.

Reading parenting practitioners understand that parenting is a learning journey and that from time to time all parents may want or need a bit of extra information and guidance.

By attending a Reading parenting programme, you will have the opportunity to learn positive parenting approaches that are proven to be effective and develop your parenting skills in a supportive environment.

All courses run from 5 to 14 weeks depending on the programme and are usually delivered in groups at community venues across Reading throughout the year - except during School holidays. Courses currently being run virtually online.

To access the BFfC Parenting Service we encourage you to self - refer or speak to a professional who can make a referral on your behalf.

The next parenting courses will be running in September, once dates have been confirmed they will be added to this page. If you have any queries contact Parenting Services directly.
