One Plus One courses for parents

There are three different digital courses on offer:

  • Me, You and Baby Too - this is for all couples with a new baby in the family.
  • Arguing Better – this is for couples who are experiencing high levels of stress. 
  • Getting It Right For Children – for separated parents who want to improve their co-parenting. 

Each course takes under an hour to complete but doesn’t have to be done all at once.  They contain easy to follow videos to watch and the only homework involved is practising the skills they show you! Watch alone or with your partner.  You can use a laptop or your phone. Create your free account and sign up for a course.

Understanding your relationship

This virtual course covers feelings, communication, conflict in relationships, anger, repair and more.

Why would anyone want to do a course on understanding their relationships? Well, you may want to celebrate it, you may want to give it a bit of an MOT or you may feel your relationship is in need of some attention. Maybe you feel you are drifting, or perhaps things have been difficult lately. You're looking for a way forward.

Relationships can be difficult, complicated, fun, satisfying, exciting, annoying, bring out the best in us, bring out the worst in us. We are often in one, but we don't often spend much time on them. So here's the chance!

You can complete the course at a time and pace to suit you. Use the access code DARWIN18 to do the course for free. Find out more about the Understanding your relationship course and enrol now.
