Parental Mental Health and Well Being

Parenting is demanding and for those raising children with additional needs, the emotional load can be overwhelming. Between navigating systems, advocating for support, and meeting daily challenges, many parents find themselves burnt out, isolated, or running on empty.

In this supportive webinar, Sunshine Support and Bridge the Gap come together to explore parental mental health, emotional resilience, and sustainable wellbeing. This is a safe, compassionate space to learn, reflect, and take away practical strategies that make a real difference.

We will explore:

• The emotional impact of parenting under pressure
• How stress, trauma and burnout show up in parents and carers
• Strategies for emotional regulation and everyday resilience
• Tools to protect your wellbeing while still showing up for your child
• Where to find support and how to actually accept it

This session is ideal for parents and carers of children with SEND or additional needs, as well as professionals who support families. You deserve to feel supported, resourced, and understood not just for your child’s sake but because when parents are supported, families thrive.
