NPC Talk to Parents

Due to the large amount of interest we received last week, National Parents Council Primary are offering more free online interactive workshops on “Supporting parents to support their children’s mental health and wellbeing”, a training programme by NPC in conjunction with St. Patrick’s Mental Health services.

This programme supports parents to encourage and promote positive mental health and wellbeing in their children. The programme also explores how the building of resilience in children helps them to manage and cope with the day to day stresses of life as they occur. Parents who attend this session will:

Explore the factors that influence mental health and wellbeing in their child.

Learn how to build and nurture resilience within their own child.

Be given tips on how best to support their child’s positive mental health and wellbeing.

The sessions are taking place online via Zoom at 10am and 8pm until Friday the 11^th of December.
