Thank you for these special days!

The October week was a time full of emotion, reflection and genuine encounters – with people for whom the good of children and families is the most important value.

We have just celebrated the premiere of Dr Ben Furman's book “Solution-Focused Parenting”, a session in the Polish Senate and the “Parenting Champions' Breakfast” – events that brought together experts, practitioners and representatives of facilities from across the region.

Together we discussed how to support parents and carers in building relationships based on understanding, cooperation and looking for solutions instead of someone to blame.

The presentation of certificates to the organisations that co-created the pilot “Skillful Family” programme was a symbolic culmination of a shared journey – full of commitment, courage and faith in change.

We wholeheartedly thank everyone who was part of these events – participants, speakers, partners and patrons.

We extend special thanks to the facilities and people who accompanied us during these days - with energy, empathy and a heart for working with children and families:

Ben Furman, Halina Bieda, Joanna Sekuła, Anna Zasada - Chorab, Monika Rosa, the Ministry of National Education, Izabela Ziętka, the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy, Aleksandra Gajewska, Małgorzata Kidawa - Błońska, Neo Energy Group, Prof. Aldona Frączkiewicz - Wronka, Anna Kwaśniewska
