OUR VIRTUAL NETWORK
Our Virtual Network is held on Facebook and purely for parents and carers, all members who request to join are sent an initial welcome message via messenger from one of our Parent Leads.
In our virtual network you will find:
A closed, secure, confidential place to seek advice/support/strategies
An opportunity to ‘link up’ with other parents in similar situations
A group of mentors who have lived experience and “have come through the other side” and willing to share their knowledge and experience on a 1-2-1 basis
Files, online resources and albums on a variety topics
Anonymous posting if required
Peer support from members who understand and swoop in to support and offer a comforting words
Training opportunities
Webinars, podcasts and latest research information
Regular positive messages

An opportunity to seek advice without judgement or criticism
Reassurance that all members have signed up to the confidentiality poll, so what is said in group, stays in group
