Supporting Your Child or Adolescent with Low Mood

Everyone has days when they feel low, this is normal. Sometimes this low mood hangs around for longer and starts to make it difficult for our children and young people to do the things that are important to them. This can affect their relationships with others. For us as parents and carers it can be hard to spot these difficulties especially among all the other changes that are happening in adolescence.

This workshop will help you to have a better understanding of why your child or young person may be more vulnerable to low mood during adolescence, the warning signs, and provide the tools to support your child or young person.

This workshop will provide an introduction to the topic. We understand that some participants may already have prior knowledge in this area, which may overlap with the content covered. We appreciate your patience as we aim to make our workshops accessible to parents and carers with a range of experience and understanding.
