Difficult Conversations: How do we have them?

  • Online workshop

    A common concern for practitioners working with parents of young children is how to enter into a conversation with families about what is perceived as a difficult topic. Engaging parents in honest and supportive conversations can help enable change and sustain relationships.

    This three-hour workshop explores the context of these 'difficult conversation' situations and the desired outcomes. The course considers the skills and qualities required to enter into these conversations from a partnership perspective and provides practical opportunities to practice and reflect on newly acquired tools and approaches.

    Course Outcome: Participants are able to engage with parents in difficult conversations.

    Learning Objectives:

    For participants to increase their awareness of:

    • the need for a trusted relationship as a basis for these conversations
    • the factors that accompany difficult conversations
    • the factors that enable or become barriers to these conversations
    • the qualities and skills required to work with parents effectively

    Please note: All training is participatory and highly interactive. Participants attending online workshops are asked to have cameras turned on throughout the session with a preference for one participant per screen.
