Abstract

This paper reports the experiences obtained from the parent training workshops realized by the Faculty of Psychology of the Catholic University of Uruguay during the year 2011. Twenty four workshops have been made in six catholic educational institutes in Montevideo and the country’s inland. The objectives of the workshops were: to generate space for the reflection and participation among parents, stimulate the creation of dialogue groups and strengthen the bound between the educational institute and the family. One hundred and thirty parents of pupils from the first and second year of secondary school participated. The evaluation was realized through fixed-alternative questionnaires to parents and institutional reference figures. The main conclusions are: parents reported their need to be educated as parents and that parent education is strengthened when educational institutes support and accompany this process.
