Wellbeing Workshops
Wellbeing Workshops are a Big Lottery Funded Project, in partnership with the Mental Health Foundation. We bring single parents together for 6 weeks, for a series of thought provoking and useful workshops around mental health, tailored around what impacts single parent’s lives.

What Single Parents Say About Wellbeing Workshops
-
"After 6 weeks, I've met a group of like minded, strong, single parents who have become good friends. I have let go of the stigma and shame which I carried with me of being a single parent. I have learnt tools and practical solutions to many of the challenges I face on a day-to-today basis. My confidence has grown knowing that I am doing a good job and am doing the very best I can. I have also learnt that it is important to look after myself and that's OK (and not feel guilty)."
-
“I’ve made changes like exercising and diet...with a focus on making myself feel better and I feel the workshops helped me to focus and maintain those changes”
-
“I think it was really worthwhile [attending the workshops] it was nice to speak to people who were in you know they were in a similar situation to you...nice to meet some new people and to get more involved in the single parents group”more.
-
“I am enough, I can put myself first, I’ve rediscovered myself. Instead of just being a single parent struggling I remembered to be me, and it made me a better parent”.
-
“I loved the workshops both times [as a participant] and I just really wanted to give back from my experiences in how much they helped me in my life I want to try to help someone else”
-
“I’ve become aware more of how my past is shaping my present and learning to step back from that and not allowing myself to be triggered”
