Wellbeing workshop for parent carers - Driving Digital Inclusion

What causes you stress and how do you cope with it at present? Parenting can seem full of challenges and stressful times. Supporting the needs of a child with a rare condition can lead to a sense of isolation and affect your wellbeing in many different ways.

This online workshop will give you an opportunity to:

• understand clearly what stress is and how it affects you

• identify those factors which cause you stress and establish how you cope with these at present

• learn about coping mechanisms and each other’s coping styles

• identify new ways of coping with stress and reducing your stress levels (the 5 Steps to Wellbeing)

• be motivated to try new stress busting ideas until you find ones that fit with you!

• hear other parents' experiences

• share as much or as little of your story as you wish

• explore how you can obtain further help and guidance if you need it
