Parents and adolescents children in Hertfordshire can book on to our free virtual workshops aimed at addressing issues related to emotional wellbeing, anxiety, sleep and self-esteem.

The emotional wellbeing workshops delivered by our children’s wellbeing practitioners offer one-off emotional wellbeing and mental health support to children and young people aged five to 19 who go to school in Hertfordshire or are registered with a GP in Hertfordshire. They cover a range of topics including how to develop your child’s emotional literacy, supporting  self-esteem and resilience; support for sleep and support  and strategies for managing and regulating emotions.

Workshops are delivered in the daytime and evenings and last between 90 minutes to two hours and are delivered by two service practitioners who are available to answer questions and provide additional information. A referral is not required to access the workshops – just sign up.

Assistant Director of Children’s Specialist Services, Mary Smith said: “All children and teenagers experience some degree of anxiety, stress or anger at some point in their lives that can impact their self-esteem, sleep and general wellbeing.

“Our workshops offer early intervention, low intensity support, and are intended to provide clear, practical tips and resources that can help equip parents and children deal with many challenges that face them on a day-to-day basis.”  

The next session is on 29 May at 6pm and covers emotional regulation and wellbeing for adolescents. Further sessions will be held in June and will cover sleep, emotional literacy, general emotional wellbeing and supporting your child’s self-esteem and resilience. 

The workshops are free to attend. Child focused workshops are for parents to attend and workshops for adolescents are for teenagers and/or their parents to attend.
