We currently offer a range of groups aimed at addressing the emerging needs of our communities.

Groups for parents

These groups cover a range of ages and themes, including:

• nurture groups for parents of 3 to 11-year-old children. These support parents to be more confident, understand their children’s needs, and communicate more effectively.
• supporting parents of teenagers to better understand them, building on relationships within the family, communication, negotiating, decision-making and strategies to reduce conflict
• children aged from 18 months to 3 years where there is a concern around speech, language and communication development
• workshops for parents based on identified needs. For example, financial guidance, supporting children with SEND and parenting strategies

Groups for young people

These groups offer support with:

• confidence and self-esteem
• positive relationships
• stress, anxiety and low mood
• transitions (from year 6 to 7)
• engaging children and young people in service development. This includes specific groups for children with SEND or who are looked after
