Support for Parents and Carers
​

Getting on Better 

Our groups are for parents (together or separated), or parents in a blended family, who are experiencing arguments or conflict in their relationship. It's not about getting couples to stay together, nor is it 'couple's counselling'...it's about preventing parental conflict having a negative impact on children.

Our groups will help parents understand why the conflict happens and what can be done differently to make things better for everyone, especially the children. Our team are friendly and non-judgemental, and you won't be asked to share anything you don't want to. 

Together: Online session for parents/carer of young people attending Boost 

If your young person has been referred to the Early Intervention Service for support with their mental health, we advise parents/carers to attend our online Together session themselves. This session lasts 2 hours and groups run every month, in the evening. 

In the session you will learn:
  • about young people’s mental health and how it affects them
  • strategies and tools to support young people with mental health difficulties.

We encourage parents/carers to share their experiences and hear from others, this can help you feel less alone - we are in this 'Together'. When we book your young person onto Boost we will talk to you about attending a Together session. 

What participants say...
 "It's good to meet others in the same situation."
"So helpful knowing we are not on our own facing the challenges supporting our young people."
Sessions are held on Zoom, 6pm to 8pm. The next dates are:
Wednesday 26 February
Wednesday 19 March ​
If your young person needs support with their mental health you can ask your GP to refer them to the Early Intervention Service or you can make a self referral on this website www.myselfreferral-llr.nhs.uk
