There are so many parents struggling with a range of issues affecting their children and having nowhere to turn.
Be it anxiety, school refusal, struggling to make friends, bullying, bereavement/grief, suicide attempts or thoughts, self harm, neurodivergent conditions, vaping/smoking/drugs, learning disabilities, physical disabilities, social media impact, a combination of above or something else not mentioned.
We all think or have thought at some point that we are alone, we are failing, no one is listening, we don’t have any support, so lets create a group so we know we are not alone, our voices can be heard and we are listened to and we have support from each other and know we are not failing.
I am looking to hold these once a term initially and have guest speakers come in to our sessions occasionally to cover certain topics. We can then use this group or set up a whats app group to support each other between meetings.
The first meeting will be on 15th September 2025 in the sixth form of Gosford Hill School. At 9.15am to 10.45am. This session will cover transitions, making friends, social anxiety etc.
It is open to all secondary school parents and parents of children in years 5 and 6 at primary school maybe year 4 too.
I am looking for parents to attend the group and also one or two parents that would like to help me run it.
