Parent & Carer Peer Support Groups

We have a range of support groups available for parents and carers as part of our PAM programme. The groups are often arranged at the same time as the peer support for the children and young people and usually take place in another room, except for our under 5’s family drop-in session on a Friday where parents and carers stay with their babies and toddlers.

We can also create new user-led groups which are all based on Peer Support, for example we may have a support group for parents and carers of children attending our Inclusion workshops, which aim to reduce anxiety and encourage self-esteem.

For parents and carers seeing your child suffer and feeling powerless to fix it can be a painful experience, we understand and want to offer you support too. Peer support sessions are often led by a member of our team or a trained peer support mentor, all of whom have lived experience of or have cared for someone with poor mental health.

For details of existing groups please see our timetable.
