One of the most important things we do at Unique Ways is to offer training courses for parent carers, helping you to build your skills and resilience, learn techniques and tactics for dealing with schools, health services and Local Authorities, and develop a person-centred method of dealing with your child’s additional needs.
Courses are free for Unique Ways Members, and are led by our own fully trained and qualified practitioners. Most of our team are also parent carers themselves, so you can be sure that our courses are being led by someone who knows what you’re going through, and really is there to help.
