Parental support

Parenting is not always easy and Avesta municipality can offer support to parents. One example is the Cope programme.

Cope is a programme targeting parents with children aged 3 – 18 years. The group sessions provide plenty of space to share your views and experiences. The course goals are to help parents to encourage and reinforce positive behaviour in their children, to help parents to become more capable of handling their children’s reactions in different situations (for example, sibling rivalry), and to help parents to improve their problem-solving skills and exchange experiences with each other. The parents’ groups are run by trained instructors.
