These sessions are for parents with children on the waiting list for CAMHS:
- Are you feeling isolated and stressed?
- Would you like to learn new ways of helping YOURSELF to cope with the day to day stresses of life with a child with additional needs?
- Would you like the chance to meet other parents in similar situations to yourself?
Then this session might be useful for you.
North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group are running a practical, relaxed session on helping you with new ways of managing how you feel and how you cope day to day. This is NOT a behaviour management course; this is about you as a person, not as a mum or dad or carer, but you as an individual.
The session will last for 3 hours in total. There will be time to mix and meet people, time to learn practical things that will help you develop new coping mechanisms, and time for a relaxing drink and a chat.
To book onto a session please ring or email: Craig Stevanato on 07900 164326 or craig.stevanato@swyt.nhs.uk
The facilitator for the session is Christine Mclean, who is a very experienced author, speaker and coach for the NHS and local government on resilience, managing change, and the development of inner strength to manage life’s ups and downs. She is a nurse and midwife by background and is passionate about helping people develop useful coping skills in difficult times.
She has been commissioned to design and deliver this especially to support parents of children with disabilities.
