MINDFUL PARENTING FOR ORGANISATIONS
When parents feel more supported, everyone benefits.
An eight-week training for employees who are also parents. A practical programme that helps them meet stress, strong emotions and everyday family life with more awareness, calm and compassion.
THE PART OF WELLBEING WE OFTEN FORGET
Your employees do not leave parenthood at the door
Work and family life are deeply connected. A difficult morning at home can affect the rest of the day, just as work pressure can still be felt at home. Mindful Parenting gives employees practical tools to pause, notice what is happening and respond with greater awareness when things get difficult. It is not about becoming a perfect parent. It is about finding more space in the moments that matter most.
Supporting employees in their role as parents means supporting them as people, at home and at work.
Support employees in their role as parents, and the impact is felt both at home and at work.
The case for it
What the research suggests
Supporting parents is not separate from employee wellbeing. Research increasingly shows how parenting stress, work-family conflict and mental wellbeing are connected, and why support at home can matter at work too.
Parental stress affects wellbeing Higher parenting stress is consistently associated with lower parental wellbeing.
Work and family influence each other Work-family conflict is associated with later sickness absence and can place additional strain on employees.
Mindfulness can support parents Research suggests mindfulness-based parenting programmes can help reduce parenting stress and strengthen mindful awareness in parenting.
The effects can reach beyond the parent Some studies also report improvements in family relationships and child outcomes, although the evidence is still developing.

Every organisation is different, so we tailor the programme to your team, format and context. Contact us and we will put together a proposal that fits your organisation and discuss any available training or wellbeing budgets with you.
WHAT IT CAN SUPPORT
What parents practise at home can support them at work too.
Mindful Parenting develops skills that are useful far beyond family life: attention, self-regulation, communication, compassion and resilience.
Parents practise noticing stress and emotional reactions earlier, creating more space before they respond.
Training attention can help people stay more present with what they are doing, both at home and during the working day.
Participants learn practical ways to meet difficult moments with greater awareness, flexibility and self-compassion.
WHY THE SKILLS TRAVEL
We don’t leave one part of ourselves behind when we move between work and home
The skills developed in Mindful Parenting are not limited to parenting. Learning to pause, notice what is happening and respond with greater awareness can shape how people communicate, handle pressure and relate to others in every part of life.
Something shorter?
Keynotes & workshops.
Looking for something shorter than the eight-week programme? We also offer keynotes, workshops and energisers for team days, conferences, study days and other events. Each session is tailored to your organisation and can focus on attention, resilience, parenting, wellbeing or the challenges children and families face today.
