ESCAPE and Parallel Lines
Parenting Programme:
A Problem-solving Approach

A three-day training course
ESCAPE is an evidence-based parenting programme which offers a flexible framework for working with parents and young people, and it has been widely used with parents in the youth justice system and elsewhere. This programme promotes a problem-solving approach in helping parents establish a positive relationship with their teenagers. The ESCAPE programme can be used in one-to-one or group settings, and includes Parallel Lines, a companion programme for working with young people in conjunction with their parents. This three-day facilitators’ training course will prepare practitioners for running their own parenting sessions using the ESCAPE programme.

The course covers:

  • A working knowledge of the ESCAPE course manual
  • An understanding of the ESCAPE problem solving model
  • Opportunities for practicing facilitation skills
  • Strategies that help manage difficult behaviour
  • Motivating parents and young people
  • Giving and encouraging feedback
  • Preparation to become an accredited ESCAPE facilitator.
