Rosie Hill
Rosie Hill, BSc, has worked with parents for over thirty years. Her interest in the world of parenting first developed when she was struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation while raising two children on her own. Her life changed dramatically after attending a parenting course. Since then she has dedicated her working life to supporting and initiating projects to help parents, enabling them to access the ideas and strategies she found so helpful with her own family. In 2000, in her role as Parenting Officer for the Youth Offending Team, she set up the Oxfordshire Parent-Talk programme for parents/carers of troubled, out-of-control, at-risk or vulnerable teenagers. While in post she wrote the Take 3 Parenting course to meet the needs of that project. This evidence-based course, Take 3: Skills and Strategies for Supporting Parents to Deal with Challenging Teenagers, is now used around the UK and overseas and has become very popular with both parents and facilitators.
She has trained and supervised many parenting practitioners over the last thirty years and has supported hundreds of parents, working one to one or in groups, in person or online. Now a grandmother of teenagers, she draws on all her knowledge and experience of having been a reflexologist, a training officer for the Citizens Advice Bureau, a china restorer, her life on a smallholding, and her degree in anthropology. In the last decade she has been immersed in training to facilitate systemic family constellations. In 1998, she co-edited the book Cross-Cultural Marriage: Identity and Choice.
