Listening to and Supporting My Child

The Nook from SAMH provides barrier-free access to mental health support, with no need to book an appointment, no need for referrals, and no waiting lists. Anyone looking for support can walk through the door and get help fast.

Delivered by the Scottish Action for Mental Health's Children and Young People team.

This workshop has been specifically developed to provide parents and carers with the knowledge and skills to have mental health conversations with their child.

It explores the different stresses that children and young people experience in their lives, and which can impact on their mental health and wellbeing.

The workshop helps parents and carers learn how to start conversations (finding the right time, place and way to communicate) and how to support their child even when do they do not want to talk about how they are feeling.
