A free course for parents and carers is starting in Southampton on May 9.

The course, which will be held on six Mondays from 12.30pm to 2.30pm, will cover topics related to parents' and carers' emotions and confidence.

Topics are set to include valuing what you do as a parent, feeling better about yourself, helping your children manage their behaviour and coping with your child's feelings.

As well as being free, the Feelings Affect Behaviour (FAB) course will have a free creche for pre school age children.

The charity behind the course has been working with people in Southampton for more than 13 years.

The course will be held at James Street Church, Southampton, SO14 1PH, on May 9, 16 and 23 and June 6, 13 and 20.
