Free online Stronger Relationships course
Stronger Relationships is a free six week online course run by REF (Race Equalities Foundation). It helps parents communicate better, cope with stress, and co-parent in a calmer way.
- Get some new ideas to help you be an even better parent
- Reduce the arguments and disagreements in your family and cope better with stress
- Enhance your relationship with your current partner, or improve communication with your ex or the other people helping to raise your children
The course includes an individual session and weekly group discussions.
Group discussions start:
- Wednesday 24 September 2025 at 6pm
- Friday 26 September 2025 at 11am (for parents who are Arabic speakers)
- Thursday 2 October 2025 at 6pm
- Tuesday 21 October 2025 at 10am (mothers/female care givers only)
- Thursday 30 October 2025 at 1pm (fathers/male care givers only)
- Wednesday 13 November at 7.30pm (for parents of neurodivergent children)
Stronger Relationships complements other support and is accessible from your own home. Many fathers have taken part and it even works if one parent completes it as overall communication improves.
