Harrow Parent Carer Forum have completed their first Healthy Parent Carers programme. Participant, Chrysanthi, commented “Healthy Parent Carers is a programme that helps parent carers bring the focus back on them and improve their wellbeing. Very helpful to connect with other people, that need the support and assistance.”
Karen said, “Sometimes we forget to care/love ourselves; this program is a good reminder to do so.”
Dawn comments “‘It’s good to be reminded of all the things we should be doing for self care, and reminded that we actually have permission to look after ourselves as well as our children. It’s so necessary and important so that we do not burn out.”
Caroline Mascarenhas and Anita Pow facilitated the programme. 
Here’s Anita explaining ‘The Resilience Game’, and the group filling in their participants workbooks. 
Mindfulness colouring is part of the ‘Relax’ module.
Karolina said the course provided “great reminders of the importance of every day self care”. The group included parents from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, including Polish, Black British, Greek, Asian and White British.
