Havering Mind - Parent Support Group

Back
March 13th 2023

Just to let you know that Havering Mind have some spaces on our Parent Support Group 6-week programme for parents/carers who are Havering residents and struggling to support their young person (11-25 years) with their mental health (diagnosed or undiagnosed) and wellbeing - see attached leaflet. The 6-week programme commences 6-8pm, Wednesday 22nd March thru Wednesday 3rd May 2023 via zoom. Please share this information with your parents for self-referrals or for you to refer by completing and returning the attached PSG Registration Form to parents@haveringmind.org.uk or by calling us on 01708 457040.

At our Parent Support Group we will provide signposting, reassurance, tips/techniques on topics such as communication, self-care, increased resilience and coping mechanisms. Attendees may share their thoughts/feelings, without any pressure or judgement, and will meet other parents that are going through similar challenges. Parents that attended the programme have shared the following feedback:

  • Even though you know a lot of people are going through something similar to yourself, it makes a difference when you hear them talk about it. Also listening to other people’s tried and tested ideas.
  •  It was nice that the group are bonding really well and have a laugh, the whole thing is nice and relaxed.
  •  I'm not alone - there is more support out there than I realised.
  • Very inclusive and beneficial sessions.

Looking forward to hearing from you and/or your parents who would benefit from this service.
