WELLBEING SERVICE
Your Mental Health Matters
Receiving your child's diagnosis can be an emotional rollercoaster for the whole family. At Choice Wellbeing Service CIC, we're here to help you navigate that journey. As parent carers ourselves, we understand firsthand the challenges you face. We offer a holistic support system, providing practical advice, signposting to relevant services, and a safe space to simply be heard. When life feels overwhelming, our in-house counselling service offers 8-10 sessions of structured support. We've been there, we understand, and we're here to walk alongside you. Our therapy spaces, located within a vibrant family hub, offer a nurturing and supportive environment. We believe in building trust and empowering you, because you are the expert of your own experience.
What is Our Holistic Support Service offer ?
Introducing our exciting new Holistic Support Service designed especially for parent carers!
This innovative service is all about providing tailored, solution-focused support for families navigating the journey of a diagnosis for their child.
We believe everyone deserves assistance, regardless of where they are in the process, and we're here to help those who may not know where to start.
Our holistic approach means we cover a wide range of topics during our sessions, ensuring that all your concerns are addressed.
We're thrilled to partner with Sunderland Royal Hospital to offer this opt-out service, aiming to break the stigma around seeking help and recognising the need for support.
In our sessions, you'll enjoy personalised support from a dedicated wellbeing practitioner, the flexibility to how often we meet, mental health assistance as you navigate the "SEND" world, and connections to other vital services and resources.
Plus, you’ll have the chance to set realistic goals and even meet with a financial advisor to ensure you're claiming the right benefits!
This fantastic service is available for parent carers aged 18 and over.
