Dear Parents/carers,

Parent Workshops at St Mary’s – creche available

If your child is being referred to CAMHS, is in the process of an EHCNA or is being supported through the school team MHST or takes part in Big Feelings this could be the workshop for you!

Please join us for a CAMHS Mental Health Support Team (MHST) Parent Workshop – Introducing ‘The Brief Incredible Years: Empowering parents to manage and understand their child’s behaviour. Part 1 & 2.

Save the date:
Part 1: Tuesday 17 June 2025 from 3.00pm – 4.30pm
Part 2: Tuesday 1 July 2025 from 3.00pm – 4.30pm

The workshop ‘Brief Incredible Years’ is based on the book ‘The Incredible Years’ by Caroline Webster-Stratton. This program focuses on positive parenting strategies that support emotional and social development in children. The book is available for purchase (though not required for the workshop), or through Audible and some schools may lend copies. This is a parent-only workshop.

Please let the office know if you would like to attend so that we organise staff to look after your children.
