• Positive Parenting
• Assertiveness
• Relationship Advice

Families that attend St. Theresa's will also be able to take part in various trips on offer throughout the year.

Costs
It is free, so drop in and see us anytime. On occasions we may tempt you with one of our cooked breakfasts or lunches, for this there will be a very small charge.

We also have a very popular Thrift Shop with good quality children’s clothing and nursery goods for sale at a fraction of the price that they would cost new.
