Support

This programme helps parents regain their ability to parent in a calm and confident manner. It can help develop a support network to stop violent, destructive or risky behaviours both in and out of the home and can help to improve relationships between family members. Topics discussed include de-escalating conflict, increasing parental presence and taking a firm stand against unacceptable behaviour within the family. The programme consists of eight sessions, which last for two hours. We will offer this to you if we think it would be helpful.

These information and support evenings provide an opportunity to meet with other parents and carers to share experiences and find out more about self-harm. The sessions are held every other month on a Tuesday at 6.30pm – 8.30pm at Hopewood, Foster Drive, Nottingham, NG5 3FL. For forthcoming dates and to book a place please speak to the CAMHS lead professional for your child or young person.

Young Minds has a lot of useful information about children and young people’s mental health conditions and also the types of support available for parents or carers. They also provide a free, confidential online and telephone support service ‘Parents Helpline’. 

MindED for Families provides online advice and information to help parents and carers understand and identify early issues to best support their child or young person.
