Interested in how best support to your children’s mental wellbeing?
Want to know more about the talk about mental health with children & teens?
Do you want some skills to help your children through worries or difficult moments?
As children grow their mental health & wellbeing develops and changes. We want to support parents who are walking alongside young people as this happens. This three-session introductory course for parents, led by NHS talking therapies, in partnership with St Margaret’s and St Giles’ churches aims to help you explore how best to support your child’s mental wellbeing.
Who is this for? Parents of children of any age, whatever your child’s mental wellbeing. This is an introductory course.
What will it involve? The sessions will cover some practical suggestions for how to speak with children about mental health, what to do in a crisis and what signs to be aware of in child mental health. However, the aim is very much for the content of the sessions to be lead by the group and so the sessions will be flexible. Refreshments will be provided.
When and Where is it? St Margaret’s Institute, Polstead Road, running on 24 Sept, 8 Oct & 22 Oct. 7pm for getting a cup of tea or coffee! Session 7.15-8.15pm.
