We just want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all the parents and our professional partners who joined our Parent Support Sessions this year. It has been an exciting and insightful journey together, and we truly appreciate everyone showing up and sharing thoughts and experiences with us.
Throughout the year, we have explored some really important topics, like masking (covering up emotions) and meltdowns, the unique and brilliant teenage brain, and helping young people in the move up to Secondary School. Each session brought valuable learning and connection, and a fair few light bulb moments!
A special shout-out goes to our fantastic partners – Bristol Parent Carers, North Star, Kids Matter, OTR, Bristol Primary Mental Health Specialists, SEND & You, North Bristol Family Hubs and our own wonderful Wellbeing Coach, David Sully for his collaboration and expertise. Everyone’s contributions made these sessions even more meaningful.
Happily, the end of this year is not the end of us! We have even more exciting Link Forward events lined up for the new year, including a session with Families in Focus in January. Keep an eye out on our website for more info HERE
Our Parent Support Sessions are a relaxed space where you can ask for advice and support, and chat with other parents who ‘get it’. You will always be warmly welcomed by the Link Forward team, usually armed with cuppas and cake!
We would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions of topics that you would like to know more about. Please contact me via my email: kate.martey@southmead.org or call, 0117 950 3335.
Thank you once again, and we can’t wait to see you in 2025!
