Parents Plus is an Irish charity that researches and develops evidence-based parenting and mental health programmes. Our mission is to improve the well-being of children, young people and parents, and to strengthen families, by empowering professionals to deliver our evidence-based programmes in their services. In the last 10 years Parents Plus has supported over 100,000 families and empowered over 1,000 organisations to create sustainable change in their service delivery. Our bespoke Train the trainer’ model ensures a long-term, sustainable benefit for facilitators, communities and organisations. Our model ensures that services are best equipped to improve the lives of thousands of families and communities in Ireland, the U.K. and internationally. We work in partnership with professionals and services across disability, mental health, education, primary care, child protection, early intervention, youth work and community services. We also sponsor services who have limited funding, or where there is an absence of national funding, to support specific and vulnerable groups. We provide post-training and implementation support, to ensure the programmes are embedded within long term service delivery. Backed by over 25 years of research, the Parents Plus Programmes have a strong evidence-base that demonstrates positive outcomes for families who complete our programmes. There are 24 internationally recognised studies conducted in clinical, community and disability settings, attesting to their effectiveness for families dealing with a variety of challenges and issues. Our evidence based programmes include - Parents Plus Early Years Programme - Parents Plus Children's Programme - Parents Plus Adolescent Programme - Parents Plus Working Things Out - Parents Plus Special Needs Programme - Parents Plus Parenting When Separated - Parents Plus Healthy Families Programme To learn more about our evidence based programmes and impact, visit www.parentsplus.ie
