Umeå offers group courses for parents with conflict management problems

It can be difficult as a parent to seek help when you have difficulty with conflict management and easily lose control. The social service in Umeå wants to show that it is much more common than you think by arranging courses in groups.

- We saw that there was a need for such a course, says Regat Boström from Föräldrasupporten within Umeå municipality.

The course is based on the Swedish evidence-based method Safer children and is aimed at parents of children aged 0–18. Parents can register via Föräldrasupporten.

Previously, parents had to take the course individually in connection with a report of concern or if you wanted to take it yourself. In the clip above, you can hear why the social service wants to start the course in groups.
