Dr. Adele Keating:

Parents Plus is run nationwide. In the past 20 years approximately 5,000 professionals have been trained in the range of parenting programmes. This is a new venture for Parents Plus. We have just developed material on healthy families. We have trialled it in the Bray area. Within a month we ran workshops for 60 parents. We are doing a study on the outcomes of those workshops. We have not done the research study yet, but the plan would be to make these accessible through the trainers trained in the Parents Plus programme, so the reach would be wide.
