Is this only for trainers or could parents use these workshops? If not is there something available for families to use?
Thanks

Hi Lynne –
You could certainly use many of the discussions and topics as a family. But, the EQF is written as a guide for a trainer/facilitator to present to a group. I wonder if it might be possible for you to get a small group together, maybe another family to come over, and you could take turns being the facilitator of the sessions?
We also have a book called Handle With Care – it has a ton of activities that are ideal for families. Instead of a structured program, HWC is an exploration to discover together. http://www.6seconds.org/newstore/products/hwc-activity-book/

Thanks Josh
In your opinion which would we get more out of –which would be easier to figure out without the training? I’m in Canada and it saddens me to see we have no centre up here!
thanks again
Lynne
