Connected Care
Parent Support Groups and Programmes
We thrive on connected care - and yet sometimes it can be hard to get it or give it. Life and relationships can be stressful and we can easily struggle to receive or give what we and our loved ones need most.
When help is needed for the child then the parent is likely to also need a helping hand, perhaps to manage their own or their child's distress, or to become better able to parent their child and their needs.
Groups can be ideal places to receive the support and encouragement of shared experience and to come out of the isolation that adversity at home can cause.
As well as receiving professional support to receive and give connected care, the parent to parent support can extend beyond the life of the group.

HealthystARTS
Healthy bonds build healthy lives
HealthystARTS uses creative physical activity to enable parents and children to connect as partners and to have connected, responsive and joyful experiences.
​
These experiences release much needed ingredients in the parent and the child to build a more fulfilling resilient relationship and a happier, more resilient child.
​
The parent is supported to support the child and together can develop much needed trust, sensitivity and
security with benefits that can last a lifetime for the child as a person and the parent:child relationship.

HealthystARTS is rooted in Sherborne Developmental Movement practice and Parent & Child Therapy training.
