Supporting a child or young person with mental health needs? Connect with others and learn new skills.

You are invited to join our Carer Coach for a series of 9 online workshops designed to assist parents and carers supporting a child or young person experiencing mental health challenges.

The workshops will:

• assist you to build practical skills for navigating the caring/parenting role
• support you to learn strategies to for your own wellbeing
• connect you with other carers/parents who “get it”
• provide access local support options and resources
• offer tools and insights to help lighten the load and strengthen your confidence.

Each week a different topic will be covered including:

• What makes for good support
• Planning Ahead for Yourself Post Crisis and more….

These supportive workshops will give you time to reflect on your caring/parenting role and build strategies to allow you to care more sustainably for the person you support and look after you.
