About this event

We are a team from King's College London holding workshops with families and practitioners to find out how adult mental health, children's services and schools support both parenting and mental health.

This event is only for families.

If you are a parent with lived experience of these issues we would love you to join us for an informal conversation about what matters most to families. Your children can be any age. Young people aged 16+ are also invited.

We will offer you £50 in shopping vouchers for your time, and a £25 shopping voucher to help with your travel or childcare costs.

We will also invite you to another event, on 4th June 2024, to come to a combined event with practitioners.
