Family Relationships – A Toolkit for Parents and Care Givers

Being or becoming a parent, a grandparent, a step-parent, or a carer for a child can be an exciting and joyful experience, but the responsibilities can also bring many of us additional stress and anxiety, which can lead to people experiencing low mood. And we know that caring for others can be stressful on top of our already hectic lives.

This one-off, two-hour online workshop is not a lesson in parenting, but it gives participants an opportunity to learn about some of the issues and problems encountered in family relationships.  The workshop will provide lots of practical tips for reducing conflict and for effective communication.

We look at family relationships from the perspective of 'parents / carers' and then from the child's perspective. And we talk about the impact of mental health on family relationships.

The workshop uses some tried and tested techniques for helping families to cope with the stresses of everyday life and how we can build resilience in the family now and for the future.

The workshop is run as an informal discussion and provides lots of opportunities for attendees to ask questions (using the confidential webinar typed questions box) if they want to.

At the end of the workshop, participants are given some further resources and contacts for additional support.

We know that all families are different and the workshop is suitable for people of all ages, backgrounds and sexual orientations interested in how they can strengthen their family relationships.

You will need to book in at least 48 hours before a workshop is due to start.
