A community based program called 'Becoming a Parent' run over 8 weeks. Parents participating in the group increase their confidence and knowledge of children's feelings and emotions and build social connections. Potential local parent facilitators may be identified from these groups and provided with training to rung parenting groups (in pairs). Parent facilitators are trained to work in the EPEC program and are paid for their work. They are supported and supervised as peer educators.
