E.S.C.A.P.E. Parenting Adolescents Programme:
A Problem-solving Approach

A two-day training course

E.S.C.A.P.E. is a new TSA training pack for working with parents of young adolescents. The training pack provides a framework to support parents in establishing a positive relationship with their teenagers. The pack also includes Parallel, Lines, a programme for working with young people in parallel with the support for parents.

E.S.C.A.P.E. provides a strategy for families to use in their everyday lives

E.S.C.A.P.E. helps parents look at what causes difficulties and how to take a different approach to their young person

E.S.C.A.P.E. is a problem-solving approach that gives parents a six-point plan to approach the difficulties their young person presents.

This two-day training course is aimed at practitioners working with parents who already have some experience of facilitation group work. The course will enable participants to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to use the E.S.C.A.P.E. material and run successful groups with parents and young people. This course will draw upon practice, research and theory. Above all it will enable participants to reflect upon their experience and build on their own strengths.

At the end of the course participants will have:

  • a working knowledge of the content of E.S.C.A.P.E. and Parallel Lines
  • identified the key issues for running successful groups
  • reflected upon and developed their own facilitations skills
  • highlighted strategies that help manage difficult behaviours
  • explored how to motivate parents and young people
  • considered ways of giving and encouraging feedback.
