What is Riding the rapids?
With well-being at its centre, Riding the Rapids supports parents and carers to understand and reduce their child’s stress, distress, anxiety related behaviour, or other behaviours of concern. The programme uses a structured, neuro-affirmative approach. It increases parents’ confidence and coping, and supports families to thrive.
Training to Become a Riding the Rapids Facilitator
There are options for training in each of the 3 Programmes. As an example, there is a 3 day training event to learn how to deliver the Primary and Teenage programmes. The event is face to face and interactive, training practitioners in how to apply the values and content of Riding the Rapids.
Information for Parents
This is much needed in our service. Parents can feel lost. This will provide them with some realistic skills and tools they can put into practice straight away. Riding the Rapids will help parents identify and understand what their child’s behaviour is telling them, which will help their child feel heard.
