Walking with You volunteers
Would you like help run a support group for parent’s and carers?
What is it?
Walking With You was set up for parents/ carers who are supporting children and young people up to the age of 25 years old, who are experiencing mental health difficulties.
The group is led by our parents/carers therefore our sessions are based on what parents/carers want to talk about.
Sessions
As an example, the topics we have covered are ASD/ADHD, Eating Disorders, Self-Harm, Anxiety and many more.
The sessions are held on the last Friday of each month and last for 2 hours only. All our sessions are supported by CAMHs professionals who present on the chosen topic and offer a Q&A section during the session.
Benefit
Parents/carers who attend our Walking With You sessions really appreciate the opportunity to talk to others who have walked in their shoes. We are looking for volunteers who can listen to concerns of parents and carers from the valuable perspective of lived experience.
