Tower Hamlets Mental Health and Wellbeing Session
Tower Hamlets Council are continuing to deliver mental health and wellbeing sessions for parents as part of our Wellbeing for Education programme. The programme aims to support mental wellbeing and resilience and aid mental health recovery for pupils, parents and carers’, in light of the impact of Covid-19 and lockdown. The Local Authority have pulled together local experts to deliver training to school staff and Further Education (FE) providers, preventing as many people as possible from developing mental health difficulties and ensuring those with pre-existing or emerging difficulties access the right support.
To book a place on any of the sessions, please email sultanax.begum@towerhamlets.gov.uk with the name of the session(s) you would like to attend, your name, role, organisation (if applicable) and contact details. Please note that places are limited and will be booked on a first come first served basis.
