Parent Workshops
Our Parent Workshops are aimed to support YOU in supporting your child or young person.
If you’re looking to engage with your child around their mental health, or need help with having difficult conversations – Lancashire Mind are here to provide support. Whether you’re struggling to talk about self harm or needing some resources to look after the wellbeing of your neurodiverse child.
We understand how challenging it can feel for a parent or carer of a child or young person who is struggling with their mental health or self-harm. Managing those emotions, understanding warning signs, communicating your concerns, and attending to your child or young person’s mental health and wellbeing, alongside your own; can feel overwhelming.

It focuses on prevention and as a starting point for parents to build strategies or tools to support not only their child, but also to understand their own emotions while undertaking the challenges of parenting.

Mental health toolkit for parents and carers
Tools and techniques you can use at home to support the mental health of your child.
When a child or young person is struggling, it can be hard to know the best way to help. Whether you are a parent, carer, teacher, social worker or another trusted adult, this one-off session offers practical guidance, strategies and tools to help you feel more confident in the support you provide.
If you are concerned about your Child or Young person's mental health, if you feel they cannot keep themself safe, if you notice a change or decline in the way they present, always seek professional advice from your GP, NHS 111 service, Your CAHM’s Practitioner or your local Accident and emergency department.
"For Parents and Carers considering attending the workshops in the future I would say: Be open and honest about your struggles because nobody in the workshop will judge, only support, and help you with their own experiences."
