Our Parent Hub support group…
We recognise how hard it can be when one of your teens is struggling with mental health, emotional or other anxiety-inducing issues. The impact this can have on you and the whole family can be devastating.
Which is why we want to give you a safe space where you can talk with other parents and people dealing with the same situation.
The sessions will include useful information that will help you understand your teen better. Run by an experienced professional facilitator, they also include valuable time to simply listen, share, laugh and cry.

Lonely, scared and desperate…
“One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do is support our 11yr old daughter during a mental health crisis. Being thrown into something we had no experience of, with limited support available to her, let alone us, as parents, we were left isolated, lonely, scared & desperate.
“As days turned into weeks, weeks into months, & months into years, every day continues to be a fight for services & support. We’re exhausted, in constant survival mode. The best support for me comes from likeminded families who (sadly) have similar lived experience. Having a safe space where I can talk, cry, vent & share is invaluable.
“Living with someone who suffers with mental ill health can be suffocating & debilitating but, as parents, the best way we can support our children during their darkest times, is to put on our own oxygen masks before theirs, which is why parental support groups can be such a lifeline.” A parent.
