Supporting your child with additional wellbeing needs can be really tough. It can leave us, as parents and carers, feeling frustrated, alone, embarrassed, ashamed and a host of other big emotions.
Research shows that if parents and carers can maintain their wellbeing, children will feel better supported and heard, which helps with their recovery.
Calm Connections supports parents and carers in looking after themselves, helping them better manage their children’s well-being or mental health challenges with a calmer approach.
Calm Connections provides parent and carer support in Greater Manchester.
Calm Connections staff and volunteers, are all parents and carers with lived experience of supporting our children through mental health experiences and crises. We work in partnership with CAMHS and other professionals to support you at all stages of your journey.
Support Groups
We offer monthly online support groups that provide a space to talk about, and share experiences with issues led by parents and carers.
We provide a safe space to share challenges and experiences and explore themes such as anxiety, eating challenges, exam stress, barriers to attending school, etc.
