Personal resilience session for parents of children with additional needs

Who is this session for?

  •  Does your child have additional needs?
  • Are you feeling isolated and stressed?
  • Would you like to learn new ways of helping YOURSELF to cope with the day to day stresses of life with a child with additional needs?
  • Would you like the chance to meet other parents in similar situations to yourself?

Then this session is for you..

NHS Greater Huddersfield and North Kirklees Commissioning Groups are running a practical, relaxed session on helping you with new ways of managing how you feel and how you cope day to day.

This is NOT a behaviour management course, this is about you as a person, not as a mum or dad or carer, but you as an individual.

The session will last for 3 hours in total. There will be time to mix and meet people, time to learn practical things that will help you develop new coping mechanisms, and time for a relaxing drink and a chat.

She is a nurse and midwife by background and is passionate about helping people develop useful coping skills in difficult times.

She has been commissioned to design and deliver this especially to support parents of children with disabilities.
