WELLBEING SUPPORT

We work with children and young people to improve wellbeing, raise their self-confidence and build resilience by providing wrap-around support.

Parent/Carer Toolkit & Support Group

As part of our support from Bedford Giving, we have been able to develop a 10-week programme supporting parents/ carers of YP with SEND and/or mental health needs. Throughout the duration of these sessions, you will join a community of parents/ cares of similar experiences in a safe space where you can share your own stories and journeys, guided by Sophie Ibbott, our Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist.

This programme is for parents/ carers to gain insight into their own processing and how this impacts their child. Throughout the course we will focus on:

• Emotional Literacy, matching words with our feelings. 

• Effective parenting strategies

• How to promote a child’s development

 • How to manage common child behavioural problems

• How to support children who are pre and post diagnosed

• Understanding of Children’s behaviours and feelings

Additionally we have 5 online self guided videos, delivered by Sophie Ibbott, focusing on supporting young peoples wellbeing.

If you are interested in accessing either of these courses please get in touch by email: info@f4yp.org
