Digital resources - parents Posted or Updated on 27 Jul 2023

As part of The Reducing Parental Conflict, Family & Health Services are working with OnePlusOne who provide 3 online courses aimed at supporting healthy relationships for new parents, parents that are together and parents that are separated.

Parental conflict is different to domestic abuse in that there is not an imbalance of power and neither person is fearful of the other. We are trying to aim support at a very early intervention level to support parents to understand that most relationships have their ups and downs, and disagreements and arguments are normal. But arguments between parents that are intense, hostile, and poorly resolved can be harmful to their children and put their mental health and long term life outcomes at risk. Learning to argue in ways that are helpful rather than harmful is vital for maintaining healthy relationships, whether parents are together or not.

The digital resources provided by OnePlusOne are designed to help parents reflect on conflict in their relationship with current or ex-partners, as well as the impact on their children. The resources use videos and animations that incorporate evidence-based techniques to promote behaviour change and help parents to argue in ways that are helpful rather than harmful.
