Dudley Council commissioned Dudley CVS as part of the Start For Life Programme and Family Hub Network to deliver on the development of a new peer support offer for parents and caregivers in Dudley.
We offer FREE parent and carer emotional well-being workshops and drop-in surgeries which offer valuable support and resources for individuals navigating the challenges of parenting and caregiving.
Our workshops focus on emotional well-being for parents and carers, therefore consideration including a range of topics and activities that address their specific needs and challenges are considered. Depending on the target audience we are available to offer help with any of the following:
Teach stress reduction and coping strategies tailored to the unique situations parents and carers face. Provide practical tools for managing daily stressors and maintaining emotional balance.
Offer guidance on communicating effectively with children, partners, and other family members. Explore active listening techniques to enhance understanding and connection within the family.
Emphasise the importance of self-care and provide practical tips for integrating self-care into busy schedules. Discuss the impact of self-care on overall well-being and its positive effects on parenting.
Share insights on building emotional resilience in both parents and children. Explore ways to navigate challenges and setbacks, fostering a resilient and adaptable mindset.
Introduce mindfulness exercises and relaxation techniques to promote emotional well-being. Guide participants through mindfulness meditation or deep-breathing exercises.
Facilitate group discussions to encourage parents and carers to share experiences and provide support to one another. Foster a sense of community by creating a supportive network among workshop participants.
Incorporating interactive activities, role-playing, or group exercises to make the workshop engaging and participatory. Providing participants with take-home materials, such as handouts, articles, or recommended readings, to reinforce key concepts.
