Mental Health Services

We are currently running a group for parents whose child or young person is accessing therapy through our Dialogue services.

Although there is the beginning of a sea change in the way we view mental health and the stigma surrounding it, young people and their families are still struggling to get the vital help they need. those who have teenagers with mental health problems seem to be particularly isolated. Yet parents are likely to be a big part of the solution as far as successful outcomes for young people are concerned.

This group will provide advice and support for parents to successfully navigate crises, avoid escalating the situation, and generally manage the young person at home.

1-Awareness: Understand mental health, the spectrum, and components.

2-Support: Find tips and ways to support your child’s mental health.

3- Self care: The importance of looking after yourself as a parent.

We are happy to provide further description to parents about the content of the group.

Groups last for six weeks, each week covering a new topic for learning and discussion.
