FLASH and TEEN FLASH workshops

We are delighted to announce that we have secured funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to deliver a programme of FLASH and TEEN FLASH workshops in Colchester. This funding will enable us to expand our services and provide valuable support and opportunities for local families and young people. For FLASH and Teen FLASH workshops dates, venue and referral form please go to our FLASH parents page : FLASH (Families Learning About Self Harm) Workshops – Ministry of Parenting

Incredible Years ADHD group –– STOP group

We are also awaiting the outcomes of additional funding applications for our other parenting programmes and several new projects currently in development. As funding is confirmed, we will update this page with information about upcoming groups, projects, locations, and referral pathways.

Meanwhile the Parent resources pages Parents Resources – Ministry of Parenting and the TEEN FLASH website Self Harm Talk – Ministry of Parenting are available to all families

One to one private coaching sessions

Individual 1:1 Support

Alongside our group programmes, we may also be able to offer individual 1:1 support for young people and/or parents and carers where a group programme may not be the most appropriate or preferred option.

This may include support through Pit STOP , Incredible Years Home Coaching or MyFLASH, depending on individual circumstances and needs.

Please note: We do not currently have funding available to provide our 1:1 support free of charge. Individual support can therefore be offered on a private, fee-paying basis, subject to practitioner availability and an initial discussion about whether the support is appropriate.

Please contact us if you would like to discuss the 1:1 options available. You can contact us via this link Contact
