CAMHS (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service) have arranged for British Sign Language interpreters to join their 9th workshop on Tuesday 23 November & Tuesday 7 December.

Parent Anxiety Workshops 9 (BSL Sessions)

The format of these workshops will be the same as previous sessions, with these delivered online across two, 90-minute sessions using Microsoft Teams Live Events. They focus on understanding anxiety in children and developing support strategies to help at home. The first session focuses on psycho-education, enabling parents to feel they have a greater understanding of anxiety and the factors that maintain anxiety. The second session moves on to helping parents support young people in developing practical strategies to manage and face worries. The workshop is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques and will have a focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours have a role in keeping anxiety going and what can be done to change this.

All parents and carers are very welcome to join these workshops.

Following feedback from parents and carers, CAMHS are going to arrange some evening dates/times for the New Year, we will keep you informed.
