What is this event about?
Get a feel of the event and why other parents loved it …
'I loved the practical advice offered during each session. Short and easy ways to remember strategies during the thick and thin of everyday life.'
Anxiety levels and struggles with mental health are on the rise in children and young people, and as mums and dads, this can feel overwhelming … even at times debilitating. But there’s good news! You, as parents, have incredible power to help your children build strong emotional resilience and healthy mental wellbeing.
A Mind of Their Own is packed with practical and preventative tools for you to use at home, helping you to better understand what’s going on in your child’s head. Together with Katharine Hill and Mark Chester, we’ll explore the science of the mind, and why children act and react the way they do.
Featuring interviews with mental-health professionals, Dr Rob Waller and Dr Kate Middleton, this event will expand your understanding of the unique pressures and opportunities facing young people today, so you can help your child develop an emotional resiliency that lasts.
While this event may be more applicable to parents of pre-and early teenage kids, A Mind of their Own offers a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and advice that would benefit any parent. It will equip you to support your children to grow into strong, resilient young people.
Care for the Family is built on Christian principles, but we want our events and resources to be accessible to everyone. This event does not contain any faith specific content.
