About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

At TIC+, we understand the important role you, as parents and caregivers, play in enhancing your children's mental well-being. However, parenting can also be hard, especially if your child is unhappy or you are worried about them.

Our free Parent and Carer Support Groups are held at various locations across Gloucestershire and via Zoom, for parents or carers of young people aged 11-18 in Gloucestershire facing mental health, emotional well-being and behavioural issues. Developed by TIC+, our groups are designed to inform and support parents and carers, helping you to understand your child’s distress and find effective strategies to build resilience. The group is also a chance for parents and carers going through similar experiences to encourage, support and learn from each other in a safe and friendly environment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • These groups meet weekly for six weeks and last 1.5 hours – they are held on the same day and time each week. We would encourage you to commit to all 6 sessions for the best results. Spaces are limited and booking is essential.
  • Unfortunately, if you miss the first session you’ll be unable to continue with the group due to confidentiality reasons. However, we would encourage you to re-book onto the next available group.
  • We can accommodate only one parent or carer from each family in each group.
  • Each group will be led by facilitators who are experts in parenting and young people’s mental health.
  • Please note that the workshops focus on neurotypical young people. While they may not fully address neurodiverse needs, there are still valuable insights to gain.
  • TIC+ strives to make workshop sessions inclusive to all, regardless of gender identity, race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, income and abilities. Let us know your requirements in the booking form and we'll do our best to accomodate them.
