Our inaugural meeting this morning was attended by 10 parents, including 2 Dads, so we were delighted!
Verona McStay facilitated a lovely session on self-care and parents had the following to say:
"I enjoyed the group and learning from new things from each other"
"I liked the mix of getting information and sharing and the mindfulness at the end, looking forward to the next one"
"I will try to think on the positives, what went well, at the end of the day instead of focusing on what went wrong".
"I plan to take up a hobby, like gardening".
"I really enjoyed this group session, it made me realise how important it is to have a little time out every day for myself".
We talked a lot today about mindfulness, here is a link to lots more information:

and this is where the meditation exercise came from:
