Today is Parent Mental Health Day. We would like to take this opportunity to honour all the families in our school community and recognise the important role you play in your child’s life. Parenting can be one of the hardest jobs in the world, you are carers, rule makers, advocates and nurturers and your children are lucky to have you. So often it is hard to make time for your self and your own wellbeing in busy family life. I hope today brings opportunity for a hot cup of tea or quiet moment to reflect on the small joys in life. Stem4 the charity who established Parent Mental Health day have some wonderful resources for parents, which can be found here https://stem4.org.uk/pmhd/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Orlo
As always please do reach out if you need support with your own or your child’s wellbeing or come and join one of the many coffee mornings and workshops hosted by Sarah Rooke and I to connect with and bond with other parents. A full list of upcoming events can be found here https://www.whitleyparkprimaryschool.co.uk/page/?title=Workshops+and+Events&pid=117
Upcoming Workshops and Events at Whitley Park. Our events are a great way to connect with other families and gain information on a variety of topics. Events run every term, and we can often accommodate preschool siblings with their parents to allow as many of our families as possible to attend.
