Transition without Trauma for Families

There are times of transition in all families. The move from Primary to Secondary, school to sixth-form college or into further education can be a time of family challenge. Moving home and/or school, separation or divorce, adjusting to living with a step family; these may all be difficult periods.

Aspire offer support for families in transition. This includes:

• A full day workshop for parents of young people in transition between institutions/Key stages: Parents are introduced to skills and strategies to help them cope with their own challenges and give more effective support to their children. Includes the option to take the MTQ48.


• Mental Toughness for Parents Workshop: All participants complete the MTQ48 measure beforehand and will have their Development Report. The workshop gives parents the chance to discuss and explore their report and to learn practical ways to develop greater mental toughness in the context of the particular challenges they face. These in depth workshops are designed for small groups (maximum of 16), in order to provide a high level of individual support.


• Mental Toughness for Parents Programme: This programme uses the MTQ48 measure, Mental Toughness training and supportive coaching to help parents to cope more effectively with personal transition and to help other family members with their challenges. Programmes can be designed and delivered to small groups or for couples or individuals.
