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. This programme isn’t exclusively for families who access F4YP. Please share with your friends, family, schools, and further community who you believe would benefit from this support.

 

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.
