Are you worried about your child’s mental health, emotional well-being or behaviour?

Parenting can be hugely rewarding but it can also be really hard work, especially if you think your child is unhappy or you are worried about them.

FREE PARENT & CARER SUPPORT GROUPS

Various locations across Gloucestershire and also online using Zoom

For parents or carers of young people aged 11-18 living in Gloucestershire struggling with mental health, emotional well-being and behavioural issues.

Groups are weekly for six weeks and last 1.5 hours – daytime and evening groups available.

Each group will be led by 2 facilitators who are fully-trained and experienced in parenting and young people’s mental health. Parents/carers are encouraged to commit to all 6 sessions to gain the most benefit out of the group.

Developed by TIC+, the group is designed to inform and support parents and carers, helping them to understand their child’s distress and discover effective strategies to improve their resilience. The group is also an opportunity for parents and carers going through similar experiences to encourage, support and learn from each other in a safe and friendly environment.
