Parent Carer Support and Wellbeing Project
Hi, my name is Davina and I am the Senior Parent Carer Support Worker for the project. The Parent Carer Support and Wellbeing Project supports anyone caring for a child, or young person up the age of 25 years old, with a physical disability, mental health issues, learning disability or neurodevelopmental disorder. Your child does not need to have an official diagnosis to access this service.
The project offers one-to-one telephone and face-to-face support, a range of group sessions, referrals to other in-house services, such as counselling and benefits advice, training and referral pathways to other statuary and voluntary organisations.
My name is Sarah and I work as a Parent Carer Support Worker. Both Davina and I have lived in experience of being parent carers and we know the challenges that a caring role can bring. We are here to support you, offering information, advice and a friendly ear for as long as you need us.
