Parents and carers of young people with emotional or mental health difficulties can get a helping hand thanks to a scheme led by Mind in Haringey.
The Parents in Mind peer support service offers a 12-month programme of support to people who care for a young person aged 10-18.
The scheme offers information about mental health and wellbeing; support, guidance and advice about your child; the chance to share your experiences, and the opportunity to lead group sessions.
Mind in Haringey runs two fortnightly Parents in Mind groups: a daytime group every other Tuesday from 11am to 1pm at various locations is already in operation, while an evening group every other Wednesday from 5 – 7pm at Mind In Haringey, Station House, 73c Stapleton Hall Road, N4 3QF will begin in January.
The service is open to Haringey residents only, and you must register before attending a group. Visit Mind's website (external link) to register or for further information, call 020 8340 2474 or email kate.allen@mih.org.uk
