SERVICE DETAILS
Join our Parent Plus group
We are running weekly sessions on a Monday evening for the parents and/or carers of young people aged 16+ with additional support needs.
Our Parents Plus group offers seven weekly sessions plus a monthly catch up group. These sessions aim to give you the opportunity to meet other parents in a supportive group environment, to help your young person reach their full potential.
The programme aims to support your young person to: learn social skills and build friendships, deal with puberty and sexuality, gain confidence and self esteem and be more independent. For parents and/or carers we are focused on supporting you to: cope and manage stress, deal with the challenges of adolescence, support the needs of your other children and meet other parents.
Weekly session run on a Monday evening from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Thistle Foundation’s Centre of Wellbeing, Craigmillar, Edinburgh. Join us for a light buffet beforehand at 5:45pm.
