However, help is available at The Parent Centre, a non-profit organisation in Wynberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre strives to contribute to a society in which every parent\/caregiver can raise resilient and well-balanced children in ways in which they can develop their full potential, protected from victimisation and abuse in communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe teach parents\/caregivers how to learn to parent positively, unlearn unhealthy and negative parenting habits of the past and relearn how to build a relationship with your children again,\u201d says Carmen De Vos, manager of the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the centre is based in Wynberg, it has a satellite office in Gugulethu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_7d893ef0\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cWe determine success by any positive change within the parent or family.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-40th-anniversary\">40th anniversary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.

We regularly receive referrals (formal and informal) from statutory organisations (Child Welfare Society, Badisa and the Department of Social Development). Other clients were referred by the Department of Health, children\u2019s courts, attorneys and family advocate offices. Counselling sessions are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the costs are based on household income and range between R50 to R450.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe do assist families who do not have the means to pay. We facilitate two to three groups every quarter (April to June, July to September, October to December and January to March).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we are subsidised by the Department of Social Development and an NPO, we also need to generate income to sustain our programmes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are embarking on offering our training on Saturdays for working parents, at an affordable cost,\u201d De Vos says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"InfoBlock\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_0adc1012\">\n<div class=\"heading\">Feedback received: <\/div>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Through your training sessions, I learned invaluable lessons about positive parenting, empathy and understanding. I realised that being a parent doesn\u2019t mean always being right, but rather listening to my children\u2019s feelings and understanding their perspectives. Your programme helped me break away from harmful patterns of stress, shouting, and physical discipline, and instead, embrace a more compassionate and constructive approach to parenting.<\/li>\n<li>The impact of your training extended beyond my own family. I shared the insights and techniques I learned with my colleagues, who were equally inspired by the positive changes they saw in me. The support and camaraderie we found in each session were truly uplifting, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow alongside other parents. Booking half- day leave from work was a pleasure because I knew I was at the right place at the right time.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe training solved my biggest problem \u2013 not understanding my children.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt has taught me lifelong relationship building skills to use with my family and beyond.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMy kids look at me differently asking me \u2018mom are you okay\u2019? I\u2019m grateful they notice the change in me.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI feel liberated, knowing now what to do in a (parenting) situation\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMy kids are more at ease, I feel
