Team Dandelion - A Parent Support Hub

A friendly, safe and welcoming space for parents and carers across Mid Essex.

💚 WHEN ANXIETY STARTS TAKING OVER YOUR CHILD'S WORLD... 🧡

When the smallest things feel overwhelming.

When getting through the school gates feels impossible.

When worries turn into tears, meltdowns, avoidance or constant reassurance-seeking.

When you can see your child struggling, but you're not always sure how best to help.

As a parent, it can be heartbreaking, exhausting and sometimes incredibly lonely.

🌻 That's why we, Team Dandelion - A Parent Support Hub, are hosting a F R E E Anxiety Workshop alongside our November Braintree Coffee Hub.

We'll be joined by SPACE (Support for Parents and Carers in Essex) for an open, supportive session exploring anxiety in children and young people with SEND.

Together, we'll look at strategies to help you better understand and support your anxious child.

💚 Practical strategies
🧡 Helpful advice and guidance
💚 Understanding and support
🧡 A welcoming, judgement free space

You're welcome to come along to the Coffee Hub, whether or not you're attending the workshop.

The whole team, plus Essex Family Forum will be on hand to support you.

Because supporting a child with additional needs shouldn't mean navigating everything alone.

🌻 Come and sit with us.

Because no parent should have to do this alone.

The "extra load" of being a parent to a SEN child...

It isn't as simple as "shall we just go?"

So much more comes into it

The things we need to think about
The stuff we need to pack
The non negotiable
The "just in case"

Can you resonate??
