Parents & Carers Group via Microsoft Teams

Please download the Microsoft Teams app onto the device you will be using e.g. computer/laptop/mobile phone ready for a Microsoft Teams calendar invite to the Parents and Carers Group.

Supporting young people who face additional challenges can be difficult at times, and with that in mind, the Hope Service has created a space for groups of parents and carers to come together on a regular (fortnightly) basis to discuss the challenges they face in a confidential and supportive environment.  These groups are specifically for parents and carers of young people who would like additional support. You will have an opportunity to exchange experiences and receive support towards managing the often complex situations you find yourselves in.  This is not a parenting class, rather a non-judgemental support group and we encourage you to talk about whatever seems most important.

The Hope Service will be offering topical sessions to coincide with the dates on offer, alongside open groups where parents and carers can join together to discuss current difficulties. Support will be offered by Hope staff members, which could include a Therapist, Nurse, Teacher, Social Worker and Hope Day Programme staff and other Professionals.

A regular commitment can really help build a strong sense of support across the group but we recognise coming to every session is not always possible.

In order for us to improve and adapt the sessions, we will be asking you to complete a short survey after each session. This is on a voluntary basis.

Details of the themed conversations can be found on http://www.hopeservice.org.uk/parent-and-carers-group/
