Are you a Parent Carer of a child with SEND aged 0 to 25 living in Southend looking to enhance your health and wellbeing? Join our free 6 week parent-led programme!

Healthy Parent Carers is a 6-week programme dedicated entirely to your health and wellbeing. It is run by Southend SEND Independent Forum (SSIF).

As parent carers, you spend so much time looking after everyone else. This programme is a chance to focus on you — to breathe, recharge, connect with others who understand your journey and build sustainable habits that benefit you and your family.

If you're ready to invest a little time in your own wellbeing, we'd love you to join us.

Over the 6 weeks, we'll explore ways to:

  • make time for yourself
  • connect with other parent carers
  • learn simple self-care and stress-management strategies
  • prioritise your own wellbeing
  • find a little more calm and balance

Spaces are limited to 14 to keep the group supportive and personal.
