12-11-2024 Healthy parent carer programme starting January 2025
The Healthy Parent Carer Programme is a parent-led six week programme to improve the Health and Wellbeing of parents and carers of children and young people with SEND.
The course will take place every Tuesday from 7th January 2025 to 11th February 2025, at the Ponders End Family hub, 10 am to 1 pm. See the flyer here and sign up at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OV-HPC-Jan25 by Monday 16th December. We will call you to discuss and make sure that the course is right for you, before confirming your place.
The course is designed to improve your health and well-being by promoting your self-confidence and ability to take greater control of how you deal with things and to give you some time to focus on your own needs. It was inspired by and coproduced with parent carers from the Family Faculty at the University of Exeter and will be led by trained parent-carers from the Our Voice team.
Parent carer health and well-being are often over-looked and parent carers rarely receive enough support. The programme can help you take small steps to improve your health and wellbeing. It is not a parenting course, or a course about getting support for your child. It is about you! Parent carers are very busy. But can you give yourself or make some time for you?
The course is open to any parent-carer of a child or young person aged up to 25, with SEND, living in the London Borough of Enfield (unless you have already previously completed the course with us). The course lasts for 6 weeks and you will need to confirm you can and will attend all 6 weeks of the programme.
The course is designed for a small group, so numbers are strictly limited.
