NHS Lothian has partnered with Place2Be for over a decade to help support children and young people's wellbeing, and now, a new resource is available through this partnership. Starting in November, parents and carers of 4–11-year-olds across Lothian can access a course offering practical advice on supporting their child’s wellbeing and navigating a range of common parenting challenges from meltdowns to bullying, from friendship issues to encouraging resilience.

The next cohort starts on 3 November. Parents and carers can sign up through 19 October for a space. Additional cohorts will be held in March and May. Please go to this link https://www.place2be.org.uk/nhslothian to register.
