The Parenting Under Pressure (PUP) is the framework that the Congress Family Support Service is based on.
It acknowledges the unique needs and resources of each family. This starts with a shared understanding of a family’s current concerns, strengths and areas of difficulty.
It combines all areas of life and how they influence a person’s development, both parent and child. This includes parenting values and expectations, complemented by the parents developing an understanding of child development e.g. physical, behavioural, social, emotional, and cognitive development.
