Barton House Medical Centre are inviting parents with children under the age of 5 years to join ParenTalk for a 6-week virtual peer support group held for Mums and a separate evening for Dads
This is a great way to meet other Mums/Dads to share your experiences and reach out to one another. The group will help you learn about the emotional wellbeing of you and your child.
In the pilot sessions mums’ said that it was “comforting to hear others have the same experiences” and feedback from dad’s was that “it was very helpful to discuss things with other dads.”
If you would like to take part in this group, please ask your family Health Visitor or a Psychological Wellbeing practitioner to refer you or visit Dorset Healthcare‘s website HERE or telephone: 01305 361 071.
