About this service
We are a parents’ peer support group for parents and carers of children and young people with emotional difficulties. These may include depression, behavioural difficulties, anger, self harm, borderline personality disorders, autism, those that refuse to go to school or just a handful to look after.
We meet monthly at the newly refurbished and very comfortable Satellite Centre in Greenfield. We’re facilitated by parents who have experienced these difficulties and have felt the need to share with others, but perhaps not our close friends, who just don’t really understand.
It’s a very informal group that meets, has a brew, sits and listen, joins in or just relaxes. The aim is that it’s a safe space where you can connect with others that understand you, others that get you. We’ve been running for over 2 years now and have many links with local mental health services and are affiliated with the national peer support network PLACE.
