Conference Details

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A 2- DAY COURSE. YOU MUST ATTEND BOTH DAYS Do you have children or young people in your school or setting who struggle with their behaviour, their attendance, or their focus in lessons? This may be because of underpinning mental health and emotional wellbeing needs. Many interventions or support focuses on the child or young person but we would like to introduce you to an innovative programme called Youth Connect 5 which supports the parents and carers. The Lancashire Virtual School is offering fully funded Youth Connect 5 training to professionals who will then deliver 5 week training programmes to groups of parents and carers, teaching and having discussions with them around: • Understanding young people’s mental health • Thinking about what makes us thrive • Developing family resilience • Understanding why we feel the way we do • Developing skills to support their children The aims of the course are to: • Give parents and carers the knowledge, empathy, skills and tools to promote resilience and wellbeing for children and young people • Strengthen parent’s and children’s resilience • Increase confidence and parental ability to support their child • Improve parent/child relationship As a professional trained in the delivery of Youth Connect 5, you will obtain additional knowledge and skills in mental wellbeing as well as training delivery, supporting your own CPD and the organisation’s strengths. In addition to this, in general your own health and wellbeing may also be improved. We know that many in the workforce will also be parents/carers who themselves will experience challenging times as a parent.
