Sometimes parents may want to seek advice and support from outside of school. Below you can find a number of services we would recommend parents explore:

 

Hampshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service - https://hampshirecamhs.nhs.uk/

Hampshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is a NHS specialist service that aims to help young people aged 5 -18 years and their families who are finding it hard to manage their emotional and psychological health, and who are suffering with acute, chronic and severe mental health problems.

 

Parenting Support (Hampshire Safeguarding) - https://www.hampshirescp.org.uk/parents-and-carers/

Parenting can be very rewarding, but it isn’t always easy. It can be especially hard if you child is experiencing emotional or mental health problems, or their behaviour is challenging and you’re not sure why or how to help.

If you are going through a tough time with your child, it’s important to look after yourself. If you are struggling, speak to your GP or consider connecting with other parents who might be experiencing similar issues.
