Supporting parent carers in Gateshead
Gateshead Parent Carer Forum is an organised volunteer group of parents and carers of disabled children and young people who have a variety of special educational needs and disabilities living across the Gateshead borough.
Our aim is to support parents and carers of children and young people with SEND in our community, we do that by coming together in a relaxed atmosphere, having a drop in coffee morning, information sessions with invited speakers and training events.
Contact have arranged several useful workshops for parent carers. Due to Covid-19 these are being held online.
Topics include:
Money matters,
Sleep,
Encouraging Positive Behavior
Speech and language for young children
Understanding sensory processing
The workshops are all free and can be booked online at https://www.contact.org.uk/about-us/family-workshops.
