For Parents & Carers

Walking the journey alongside your child.

Raising young people today is not easy. From emotional overwhelm and school refusal to digital pressures and disconnection, the challenges families face are real—and growing. At The Knowing Self, we believe parents and carers shouldn’t have to face those challenges alone.

That’s why, for every session we run with students, we offer a matching parent/carer session—designed to equip families with the insights and tools to support what’s being learned in the classroom and to strengthen connection at home.

How it Works

Each time your school hosts a Knowing Self session for students, we offer a complementary virtual or in-person session for parents/carers—aligned to the same theme. This ensures the learning isn’t siloed, but shared.

Whether your school books one session or the full four-part program, families can walk alongside the journey.
