About FRESH PLUS
We know how difficult it can be for parents and carers when their child is experiencing mental health difficulties.
We are a support group set up by parents and carers to provide other parents/carers with a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to find help, advice and support on the journey they find themselves on.
The group also provides an opportunity for parents and carers to talk about how they are really feeling and to connect with one other, knowing they are not alone.
The group is open to all parents/carers who have a child/children who have ever attended or are attending a CAMHS service (Liverpool & Sefton), or are on the waiting list.
We have weekly sessions with a combination of online and in person sessions. All of our sessions are drop-in, so you can attend for as long or as little as you want, and come to as many or as few as you want.
We know and understand that life can be very unpredictable and so we want to make it as accessible as possible for you.
We also have a private Facebook group so that parents and carers can reach out to each other outside of the session times. There are also daily wellbeing tips posted, useful resources and links to webinars. Please feel free to join if you are interested.
