Congratulations to all the parents who have recently completed the Fear-Less Triple P programme, both through our face-to-face and online groups.

Fear-Less Triple P is a cognitive behavioural parenting programme designed to support parents in helping their children manage anxiety more confidently and effectively.

Our Family Practitioner, Donna, facilitates the delivery of Fear-Less Triple P programmes across the district, providing practical strategies, guidance and support for families living with anxiety.

The next programme will begin on 12th June at Cedars Family Hub. If you have a child experiencing anxiety and would like to book a place, please call 01924 665093 for more information.

Today our Family Practitioner, Donna, worked in partnership with the staff at Cedars Family Hub to deliver support, guidance, and information to parents within the community.

Donna is the facilitator of The Rise Parent Support Group and was proud to work alongside Family Voice, run by Cedars Family Hub, to create a welcoming and supportive space for parents to connect, share experiences, and access advice and encouragement.

A wonderful example of partnership working to support local families. 💜
