PACT Parents And Carers Together

PACT Parents And Carers Together Suffolk parent carer peer support organisation for anyone who has a child/young person experiencing poor mental health.

You can support us using this link buymeacoffee.com/pactsuffolk We are parents and carers with lived experience of caring for children and young people with mental health issues. We found, back in 2013 that there was no support, so PACT was created. Discovering that your child is experiencing a mental health issue can be a very isolating and uncertain time. We believe that by supporting each other

and educating ourselves we can have a positive impact on our children and young people along with the whole family. Although we are based in Suffolk we are happy to hear from and support any parents who ask. We run regular face to face meet-ups, well-being walks and provide an online support group every Friday evening. We run training (Youth MHFA) and offer small group facilitated sessions on particular themes such as parent-led CBT, sleep issues, ARFID, etc. Feel free to get in touch to find out how we can support you in your journey in family mental health.

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone caring for or supporting a younger child (under 12) who may be having anxious thoughts and feelings. There’s so much we can do as families to support them whilst awaiting for clinical support (if appropriate).

Are you supporting a child under 12 who is experiencing anxiety?

Join our free webinar with Lisa Thomson, clinical lead at the Charlie Waller Trust, for practical tools to help you better understand and support children with anxiety.
The session is based on parent-led Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – an approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected – and has been co-produced with one of our Lived Experience Partners.
Aimed at parents and carers, but open to anyone working with children.

Many of us will have thought that there must have been more to this story than the one portrayed in the media. This interview with Valdo Calocane's mum and brother gives more context and we can't help but see similarities between this tragic case and how so many of our families are treated by systems and professionals. Of course, we're not by any means condoning his actions that day, however, the context helps and it's not ok to point fingers and blame his family for not getting him help and support.....
Our hearts go out to all of the victims and their families in this devastating case 💔

Interested in how VCS organisations can afford to run a stand at the Suffolk Show when we were quoted 2 years ago at £535 +VAT! We are a lowly grassroots CIC and rely on grants mainly to provide the support we do for Suffolk families. We’d need to apply for a grant solely to have a stand to share our offer of (FREE) support/training/resources with families. It just doesn’t sit right somehow 😰 when we are a non-profit organisation just helping families of children and young people with poor mental health.
