Parent Support Programme

Helping you better understand your child/young person and the challenges they are facing.
In partnership with Solent Mind, we deliver bi-monthly information sessions for parents / carers of young people aged 11-25 who live in the district of Winchester.
- The support programme will be a source of information on various topics surrounding adolescence.
- It is a space to connect with other parents who are going through similar experiences.
- A chance to have your questions answered by clinical professionals.
- An opportunity to discover more about the support available to young people and parents/carers in the area
Booking is essential
Tickets are free and must be booked in advance – 20 spaces available on each programme
