Mental Health Peer Support Project - Parent Carers Forum

Descriptions

The service will be an integrated referral system delivered alongside TEWV's Darlington Mental Health Peer Support Project. A parent led forum made up of parents of children and young people ages 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and or Disabilities. The Mental Health Peer Support Project proposal has been developed in partnership with parent carers. The service will provide peer support to parents through a confidential, listening, and supportive group. One of the strengths of parent carer forums is they have autonomy in how they listen and gain feedback from and work to engage with parents and carers. Working with the MHST clinician's the service will ensure best outcomes for the families supported providing an early intervention and prevention service alongside mainstream secondary services.
