Featuring key speakers from NSPCC, Centre for Mental Health, and YoungMinds, plus an opportunity to learn about the new Parenting Support Quality Mark, this conference will explore the impact of mental health in family settings from when a baby is born to coping with teenage mental health problems and parents' own needs.
Delegates will have an opportunity to discuss strategic and practical solutions for supporting parents who either have mental health problems themselves or who care for children and young people who do. The sessions will explore methods of building resilience in parents to help reduce stress and minimise the negative impacts on parenting.
As many as 120,000 babies may be affected by the current gap in perinatal mental health support* and yet around 80% of new mothers with mental health issues feel unable to report them**. Up to one million children are affected by the need to care for parents with mental health problems in later life. Providing adequate support in building emotional resilience is more important than ever.
CANparent update and the Parenting Support Quality Mark - Parenting UK will give an update on the outcomes and findings of the CANparent parenting class voucher project, following the conclusion of its two-year trial period
We will also offer an exclusive update on the new CANparent Quality Mark for providers of universal parenting support, with information on how to obtain the Quality Mark and what this means for your organisation and the sector as a whole.
