GROUP MEETINGS

Our Group meetings are held in Leyland on the First Monday of every month. These sessions are professionally supported by Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). We usually have a guest speaker for the first hour followed by small table chat and an opportunity to talk with other parents in similar situations.

At our group meetings you will find:

Chocolate, biscuits and a brew! 

An opportunity to meet with other parents in similar situations
