| AIM • PEP is to encourage and support
parents in their important role, through the education and discussion of family issues and
skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
|
| CONTENT
- The program looks at
the following topics: |
| Parenting
Styles |

Development |

Building (through the key areas of listening and encouragement) |

Self Esteem |
| Discipline
Strategies |

| FORMAT - The course operates on both a five weekly program of one night per week or a Friday night and all day Saturday

how adults learn best and how groups operate to their maximum potential. With these two issues in mind, the
program consists of discussion times,
small group work, multi media presentation, personal reflection time and
various activities. This is presented in an atmosphere of learning together.
All facilitators have been accredited by the MU Australia PEP
committee.
