About the Take 3 Programme Training Pack

The Take 3 pack contains all the material needed for facilitators to run the course. There are ten core sessions in Part 1 (in 4 booklets - see Part 1 Table of Contents); and eleven extra sessions in Part 2 (in a separate volume). The Part 2 sessions are ‘pick and mix’ sessions focusing on specific issues which can be added to the basic course at the discretion of the facilitators, according to the needs of their group (see Part 2 Table of Contents). The materials come in a handy carry case and they were fully updated in 2020.

What is in the Take 3 Pack?

Part 1 contains very detailed session outlines, and also includes easily accessible background theory to the topic for that week. Facilitators – and especially those new to parenting work - find this very informative and supportive. It means that they are well equipped not only to facilitate the learning of skills and strategies but also to approach parents with a far deeper understanding of human relationships and behaviour, and of adolescent development.

See sample Part 1 session pages>>

Part 2 also includes comprehensive background Notes for Facilitators, but the session outlines are less detailed (e.g. timings are not included).

Written handouts are provided to accompany all the sessions in Part 1 and most of the sessions in Part 2. These include quizzes for parents to do with their young people, lists of ‘takeaway tasks’ to be completed between sessions, and information sheets. On the right are some examples of the handouts.

Visual, word-free handouts are included. These summarise the key learning points of Part 1 in illustrations and have been well received by participating parents, particularly those who can’t read.
Take 3 USB card - All the handouts, forms and the certificate can be printed from the USB card included with the pack.

Video clips on the USB card - The course incorporates video clips from ‘Teenagers in Trouble’ (originally made by the Trust for the Study of Adolescence with funding from the Youth Justice Board). They show scenes of typical family disputes, followed by real-life parent discussions. It features three families, played by actors, each with a teenager who is drifting into trouble. The following topics are covered: strong feelings; communication; boundaries; negotiation; parent disagreement; neighbourhood and peer influences. See sample clips below.
Certificates - At the end of the course we give a certificate to each parent.

User-friendly forms for pre-course parent self-assessment, assessing parent learning, evaluating the sessions and course as a whole and feeding information back to referrers.

Very clear and very concise and very, very useful
