Parental conflict can weaken relationships and damage children’s upbringing. There is evidence that conflict between parents can have a long-term negative impact on children. Not all conflict is harmful, but when it is frequent, intense, and poorly resolved it can harm children's results.
OnePlusOne's digital support helps parents reflect on conflict in their relationship and the effect of that conflict on their children. The supports use videos and animations to promote behaviour change.
The professional training is for anyone who works with parents in a variety of settings including health, children’s social care, and education. They are likely to be working with families where there are already high levels of poorly managed conflict between parents who are together or separated.
The practitioner programme is usually delivered over two sessions:
1. What do I need to know about relationships?
Why do relationships matter?
What is the impact of relationship conflict on children and families?
When is conflict harmful for children?
2. How do I use digital resources with parents?
Why we should and why we don't
A framework for relational conversations
Relational skills in action
Practitioners attending the training programme will learn how to:
Raise parents' awareness of parental conflict and the impact on children
Use the digital resources to help parents recognise conflict and harmful behaviour patterns
Enable parents to develop positive communication skills and helpful conflict behaviours
