That’s why we’re delighted to collaborate with Ragdoll Training & Therapeutic Services to offer a series of Parent Masterclasses designed to inform, support, and empower parents and carers.

Ragdoll Training & Therapeutic Services provides therapy, parenting support, and professional training for families and professionals.Their work is relationship-focused and grounded in the belief that understanding, connection, and reflection create meaningful change. They help children, young people, and parents better understand themselves and each other, strengthen relationships, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges together. About the Masterclasses Each masterclass lasts 1.5 hours and includes an engaging presentation designed to help you understand both the topic and the reasons behind the strategies being discussed.
