Parent Carers Don’t Forget About YOU!

 

Being a parent carer can be rewarding, exhausting, overwhelming and everything in between. We spend so much time caring for others that it can be easy to put ourselves at the bottom of the list.

 

This FREE 6-week course, delivered by Parent Carers, for Parent Carers, is an opportunity to focus on your own wellbeing, your needs and you as a person  not just as a carer.

 

Course details:

- FREE for Parent Carers

- Once a week for 6 weeks

- 2.5 hours per week

- Starting Monday 12th October 2026

- 9:30am–12:00pm

- Designed by the University of Exeter and Parent Carers

- Delivered by Parent Carers, for Parent Carers

 

This is a safe and supportive space to focus on yourself. You deserve support too, and you don't have to feel guilty for making time for yourself.

 

Spaces are limited, so parent carers are encouraged to sign up with Solihull Parent Carer Voice C.I.C.
