“Excellent, loved this course, I am excited to see the families I am working with and put what we learnt into place”

“Wow! This was very useful training I really enjoyed it. Jam-packed with knowledge, advice and tools. Brilliant”

What parents have said about our support:

 “Since working with Capa my relationship with my son has improved immeasurably. I was in despair before I began and counting the years till he left home, I felt like a total failure. Now, I am more mindful of when to walk away, what to do to improve things between us, and how to keep things moving forward. What Capa has given me apart from a listening ear is strategies and also most importantly hope.”

Finding Connection with Your Teen During GCSE’s

Finding Connection with Your Teen During GCSE’s

In the coming months, thousands of teenagers across the UK will sit their GCSEs. It’s the culmination of years of schoolwork and, for many, a gateway to the next stage of life. But for some young people, it doesn’t feel like that at all.  Instead, exam season can bring fear, anxiety, pressure, and conflict—especially at home.
Many parents are finding themselves in daily battles. Conversations about revision turn into shouting matches. Doors slammed. Tears shed. Some young people may even tip into behaviour that feels unacceptable or unsafe—verbal and physical aggression, or complete withdrawal.
At Capa First Response, we work with families every day who are walking this exact path. And we want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with your parenting. This is hard. For all of you.

In the video you can hear Eliza talk through her family’s experience with school avoidance, PDA and how it brought her to start illustrating and writing books for parents/carers and for young  people themselves. She shares the story behind ‘Can’t not Won’t’ – the book that became a Sunday Times Bestseller.
