Wellbeing Activities

Since November 2021 the forum has also provided emotional support for parent carers by offering various relaxation, wellbeing and introductory therapy session, resilience and meditation session together with other mindful activities such as yoga, art therapy and massages, both face-to-face and virtually. 

We feel that this provides our parent carers an opportunity to rebuild confidence and provide much needed emotional support.  The creation of smaller parent/carer groups allows parent/carers to truly focus in on their own health and wellbeing recovery in a fully supported session.  This may be something as simple as a yoga, meditation or art therapy or an introductory therapy session.

These activities are offered to all parent carers in Trafford, whether a member of TPF or not, which enables us to reach out to parent carers who have accessed TPF virtually during the pandemic but not attended any face-to-face drop ins and those in hard-to-reach areas within Trafford.  

Where possible we seek to utilise skills and knowledge of our parent carers who could offer wellbeing activities and look to our local community facilities to provide suitable accessible venues to deliver these activities.
