Parents and carers
Due to our confidentiality policy, we will not discuss your child’s care with you, unless they specifically ask us to or if we have a significant concern around their welfare.
We do however know that being a parent of a child or a young person who is struggling can be a really worrying and difficult time, so we aim to support parents and carers in other ways.
We run a variety of training workshops specifically for parents, which are free and take place throughout the year. Priority is given to the parents or carers of children who are attending Just Drop-In, and are aged 8-25.
Upcoming Course Dates
Mental Health Aware – Saturday 6th February 10am – 1pm
Sleep – Wednesday 24th February & Wednesday 3rd March 5.30pm – 7pm *you must be able to attend both dates*

Triple P
We run Triple P in partnership with the Local Authority throughout the year. It’s run over an 8 week period, and includes 4 x group sessions, 3 x one to one phone calls, followed by a final group session. The Positive Parenting Programme is a parenting and family support system designed to prevent, as well as manage behavioural and emotional problems in children and young people.
Providing parents with the skills and confidence, the programme enables parents to be self-sufficient and manage family issues without ongoing support. There is a real focus on developing positive relationships within the family home helping young people to realise their potential.
