Invitation to Parents – HELP Programme Development
As part of Cycle Against Suicide’s collaboration with UCD’s School of Medicine, and the development of our HELP Programme (Health Educators Leading Parents), we are inviting parents who have experience of their child (4 to 12 years) experiencing anxiety to help us further develop and refine a new toolkit created from a parent’s perspective.
This work forms part of an ongoing PhD study focused on the development of the HELP Programme. Your experience and insights as a parent would be invaluable in helping us ensure that the toolkit is practical, relevant and genuinely responsive to the needs of parents.
Participation involves two online sessions, each expected to last no longer than one hour.
Further information, including details on how to take part and contact information is available at: https://docs.google.com/forms/
Thank you for considering taking part and for helping us develop a resource that will support parents and families.
