Parent Courses

The dyslexia sparks charity support that children’s mental health is more important than ever. Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm can have a significant impact on how children learn, behave, and cope – both now and in the future.
We’re hosting a one-hour online session in partnership with Phoenix Wellbeing, designed to help parents better understand children’s emotional wellbeing and learn practical strategies to support them at home.
- Thursday 12 February
- 12:00–1:00pm
- Teams (recording provided to all that can’t attend live)
