The Parenting Patchwork Treasure Deck

A Creative Tools for Assessment, Interventions, and Strengthening Relationships with Parents, Carers, and Children

This versatile deck of 100 colourful cards, with a detailed instruction manual, is designed to support professionals working with parents, carers, and families. It is a practical, easy-to-use resource for exploring relationships and facilitating assessments and interventions.

The cards are comprehensive and flexible, covering key areas such as child-parent/carer relationships, parenting experiences, parenting capacity, trauma, and childhood development. It is divided into three sections: the first focuses on children’s needs and parenting skills; the second provides sample questions to explore child development and the effects of trauma; and the third offers questions for psychoeducation, interventions, and assessments.

A valuable tool for enhancing reflective practice, this deck promotes empathy, curiosity, and compassionate care. It complements Dr. Treisman’s wider Therapeutic Treasures Collection, which includes a range of helpful publications and card decks (search for ‘Therapeutic Treasures Collection’ to explore them all!).
