Parent Wellbeing Forum: Supporting Families to Help Young People Thrive
Parent Wellbeing Forum
Supporting Families to Help Young People Thrive
At Newman Catholic College, we know that supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people is a partnership between school and home. Through our Parent Wellbeing Forum Series, we provide parents and carers with practical, evidence-based information and strategies to help navigate the opportunities and challenges of raising young people in today's world.
Presented each term in Week 5 by Mr Matt Kirby and Mrs Alison Thomson (pictured right), these interactive forums explore current topics affecting young people and equip families with knowledge, confidence and practical tools to support their child's wellbeing.
More than just an information session, our Wellbeing Forums provide an opportunity for parents to connect, ask questions and learn from one another in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Our previous sessions have included:
