In NHS Fife, a workshop based on the best selling business book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” (Covey, 1989) is available for staff. One of the benefits that the participants reported was that it not only benefited their working life, but was beneficial in their role as a parent. As the programme is available in a format for parents, we decided to make this workshop available to parents of children who have problems with their mental health, as well as to other parents who may find it beneficial.
