About Parental Minds
Parental Minds gives support to families who are struggling with their mental health. We believe that the parental voice is vital when families are living with mental health issues; this underpins all our work.
Parent+ Support Hub
The Parent+ Support Hub is for Caregivers who support family, friends or colleagues with mental health issues. Mental Health Caregivers are a family member, friend or colleague (18+ years) that is supporting someone (of any age) with mental health issues.
Support Hub Sessions
The Parent+ Support Hub meetings are informal, café-style sessions. The hub is designed to create a space for the caregiver, we share hints and tips in ‘themed’ discussions and it is somewhere to be ‘heard’ in a relaxed environment. Those who are nervous about ‘being seen’ at the group, can join as a volunteer member.
The Parent+ Support Hub is somewhere we can support each other and share information, allowing us to grow in strength and knowledge; so that we are all better equipped to give the best possible support to our families and take care of ourselves.
Check out our events on the news page for the latest session dates.
