Incredible Years Early Years (IYEY) BASIC is for parents with serious concerns about the behaviour of a child between the ages of three and six. Parents attend 12 weekly group sessions where they learn strategies for interacting positively with their child and discouraging unwanted behaviour. IYEY BASIC can be combined with Incredible Years ADVANCE for families with more complex issues, including parent anger management and mental health issues. When combined with ADVANCE, parents attend between 20 and 22 group sessions.

IYEY BASIC and ADVANCE have strong evidence of providing long-term benefits for parents and children, including a decreased risk of child maltreatment, improvements in parents’ stress and depression, improved parenting behaviours and improvements in children’s behaviour.
