Time Out for Parents - Children with Additional Needs

Parenting is a tough job for everyone, but especially for parents of children with additional needs. This six-week course from national charity Care for the Family gives parents time and space to think through the challenges and learn new skills. It's a mixture of presentation and discussion, giving a valuable opportunity to share experiences, frustrations, successes and strategies with other parents facing similar challenges. The course has been written by parents and professionals working with children with a variety of additional needs, particularly those who have learning, developmental and behavioural issues. It focusses on children aged between 3 to 11, but parents of younger teenagers may also find some of the content helpful, and benefit from meeting other parents. It is not necessary to have a formal diagnosis to attend. The course will be on zoom, led by Care for the Family facilitator Vicky Lavy with Jackie Anderson, a mum who's lived through the experience. Dates:  2, 9, 16, 23, 30 June and 7 July 2026 Time:  10.00am - 12.00pm Cost: £15 for the full course, with free ticket for second parent Please book your free place by 20th May.
