Learn how YOU can support the recovery of a child struggling
with mental health
Are You Looking To Support Your Child Back To Health And Happiness…But Need Help & Support
Being the parent of struggling with their mental help can be devastating and complex.
You are may well be in one of the most painful and difficult periods of your life.
We know how you feel.
We want to assure you that you’re not alone.
You’ll desperately want to do EVERYTHING possible to support your child through this crisis
but there’s a strong chance you are feeling:
UNPREPARED – with no relevant experience or training
FROZEN – unsure how to move forward
DISCONNECTED – from your child who may be unwilling to accept help
ANGRY – at how teachers and schools etc have let your child down
GUILTY – wondering if you could have prevented this
FEARFUL – of how this situation could escalate
Most likely, you’ll have reached out to your doctor, CAMHS or
a healthcare professional to support your child’s recovery.
You want to help them rediscover their smile, self-worth and confidence and to get them back-on-track and realise their full potential in life.
But…
you may have a long wait for your child’s first CAMHS appointment or, you may have been told that your child’s case isn’t critical enough for CAMHS support… You simply feel there’s more YOU could do.

A message of hope from our co-founder
You can make a huge contribution to your child’s healing. I was once where you are today; filled with fear, anxiety, confusion and without a plan. Our course gives you a step-by-step plan that I developed whilst leading my own daughter, and then many other parents, through the crisis of self-harm. I know it will be an immense support in your journey. There is nothing special about me. I’m just a normal mum. If I can make it, so can you.
As well as video lessons and exercises, this course includes:
5 Workbooks
These 5 workbooks coincide with our 5 module course. They lead you, step-by-step, to more deeply understand and apply what you’ve learned during each module.
An online parent community
Our Facebook group will be a great place to connect with other parents also on our course. Here you can tell your story, read about those facing similar situations and find encouragement and support. The group is a ‘Closed’ group, meaning only parents on our course can get access.
Genius Quiz and Report
Every child is a ‘Genius’ with natural talents and abilities. When your child discovers their Genius their confidence, self-esteem and positivity DRAMATICALLY increase.
