*FREE workshop for parents: Understanding and responding to mental health crises
When your young person is struggling with their mental health, it's hard to know what to do that will actually help.
Most parents I meet have already tried a lot - adjustments, strategies, professional support - and they're still feeling stuck. This workshop is for you if you're at that point: exhausted, uncertain, and looking for something that makes real sense of what's happening and gives you something you can actually do.
Parents who attended the live session told me they were already responding differently to new situations within 24 hours.
