About this Event
* Please note, this programme has been postponed to November 11th *
Mellow Caring for Young People is a 12-week programme which offers a supportive space where parents and carers of young people aged 11+ can connect, share experiences, and grow together.
The group programme is informal, non-judgmental, and perfect for navigating this new phase while taking care of yourself. Build relationships, reflect, and find comfort in knowing you're not alone. Caregivers will be supported to reflect on and understand their relationship with their young person.
You will look into the importance of taking care of yourself, adapting and strengthening your relationship with your YP, and the unique challenges and opportunities of the teenage years, all in the knowledge that you are not the only one experiencing these.
The group will discuss the changes YP face as they transition to adulthood and how these can impact their well-being and relationships.
We will explore ways to support one another during this journey.
Programme structure:
Session 1: Creating Safety, Belonging, and Reflection
Sessions 2-4: Understanding Adolescence and Emotional Development
Sessions 5-7: Relationships, Connection, and Boundaries
Sessions 8-9: Emotional Containment and Thoughtful Caregiving
Sessions 10-11: Building Strengths, Resilience, and Confidence
Sessions 12: Reflection, Consolidation, and Ending Well
How do I know if this is right for me?
This programme may be right for you if you:
- Care for a young person aged 11+.
- Are experiencing stress, tension, or conflict at home.
- Want to improve communication and strengthen relationships.
- Are concerned about your young person's wellbeing or behaviour.
- Are rebuilding trust or managing complex family challenges.
- Feel affected by pressures such as trauma, isolation, mental health challenges, or neurodiversity.
- Would benefit from support, reflection, and connection with other parents and carers.
You don't need to have all of these experiences to benefit from the programme. If you're looking for support, connection, and practical ways to strengthen your relationship with your young person, Mellow Caring for Young People could be for you.
Please note: this is a 12-week programme, starting from November 11th. Sign-up is only required once, with the expectation that individuals will attend each of the 12 sessions. Mellow Parenting facilitators, Danielle and Carolyn, will reach out to attendees directly with more information prior to the programme beginning.
