A new Peer Support group for parents caring for a young person (11-25years) experiencing mental health issues is available.
The group will be run as part of the new Parents Carewell Partnership meeting online, fortnightly on a Friday from 10-11am.
The group aims to –
• Provide parents/carers with a safe space to share their experiences and hear from other carers in similar situations
• Help improve wellbeing
• Support parents/carers with ways they can help their child
• Navigate complex systems such as social work assessments and welfare benefits
• Help parents/carers find out more about their rights as a carer
If you’d like to find out more or to wish to attend a session, email Megan, VOCAL’s Parent Carer Support Practitioner at mcopley@vocal.org.uk
The Carewell Partnerships are Edinburgh-wide initiatives which support carers
