Support for parents/carers and students during the holidays when the school is closed:

Greenwich Family Hubs are offering free Solihull Approach online courses to all parents, parents-to-be, carers, grandparents, and teens in the borough. The courses are all evidence based and so far, we've received a lot of encouraging feedback from those who have completed them. Please find an outline of the courses below.
 
The courses cover:

1. Understanding your pregnancy, labour, and birth
2. Understanding your baby
3. Understanding your child
4. Understanding your child with additional needs
5. Understanding your teenager’s brain
6. Understanding your brain (for teenagers only)
7. Understanding your feelings (for teenagers only)
8. Understanding your child’s feelings
9. Understanding your child’s mental health and well-being
10. Understanding your relationships

We have included a presentation for parents, which contains additional information on the course offer. Instructions on how parents/carers can sign up/book a course can be found in attached document below, alongside a leaflet and poster advertising the programme. We would like all parents/caregivers to be aware of and access this free online course offer, and we kindly request if you could disseminate the information in any way, you can.
