The Wild Mind Project: FREE Parent/ Carer & Young Person Wellbeing Workshops

Coronavirus has changed life for us all.  Anxiety and the disruption to daily life will be even more difficult to deal with for those who already struggle with mental health. In turn, the pressure on parents/carers, who are dealing with their own disruptions and worries, now also have increased concerns for those that they care for. We would like to help.

Our free workshops include time out in nature, walking or doing conservation work and then time doing creative activities – painting, weaving, lino-cutting, nature mandalas – under the guidance of our experienced Art Psychotherapist, who helps guide the conversation. The role parents and carers play is crucial in supporting young people with mental ill-health.  By supporting parents/carers wellbeing, creating positive memories, and improving empathy and communication within families, parents/carers can in turn help their young person to recover.

Suitable for any young person experiencing mental ill-health (up to 25 years of age), and their parent/carer.
Workshop dates:

  • Fri 7th May 5pm to 7.30pm 
  • Thurs 17th June 5pm to 7.30pm
  • Fri 9th July 5pm to 7.30pm
  • Sun 12th Sept 10am to 12.30pm
  • Sun 3rd Oct 10am to 12.30pm

For further information please contact us by email or phone 07515 3557969. To book on the workshop, please complete the booking form on our website. Referral Form available for professionals.

Dying Matters Awareness Week: Carers Network’s Virtual Events During w/c 10 May

Whether you care to talk, or talk to care – let’s get together #InAGoodPlace.

At Carers Network, we believe in the value of an open conversation about death and the importance of finding a good place where people feel able to listen and support those who are planning for the last years of life or end of life, who are dying and who have been bereaved.

The lack of openness in our communities affects the quality and range of support and care available to patients and their families.

Dying Matters is an opportunity for the community to come together in a good place to open up conversations around life, death, bereavement, and future planning. We can all do it together.

Join us at one or all of our events below through Dying Matters Awareness Week during the w/c 10 May .
