Setting Out - Gladstone

When your child or young person is struggling with their mental health, it can feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world alone.

If you’re exhausted by the uncertainty, overwhelmed by trying to know what to do next, or simply feeling like you’re figuring things out as you go - you are not alone.

Our Resilience in Reach - Setting Out workshop is a gentle, supportive space designed for parents, carers, family and kin supporting a child or young person experiencing complex mental health.

Created and facilitated by parents with lived experience, this workshop is here to help you feel more confident, connected, and supported on the journey ahead.
