We held the second instalment of a new series of webinars for parents on Monday, 9 November.
The theme of this webinar was self-care during winter months. You may notice when you are tired, stressed or feeling run down, this can have a knock-on impact on the dynamics and relationships in the household. This can then increase tensions and arguments. As a parent, paying attention to your own mental health and wellbeing is not a luxury; it is a necessity.
In this webinar, Jigsaw clinicians Conor and Olive gave a 20-minute presentation. This was followed by questions and answers from parents.
The areas covered are:
A look at some of the things that might deplete our wellbeing
How our body responds and how we may respond in ways that might not be helpful
Explore more helpful ways to respond
Practical things parents can do to look after their own self-care
Jigsaw clinicians looked at a number of changes that young people commonly experience and then took questions from parents about their current situation. This is a recording of the last in this series of webinars for parents.
