Please be aware that these events are provided completely free by the NHS, and therefore providing refreshments to all attendees is not possible. The venues for PACE events change, and we rely on sourcing large spaces to allow as many people as possible to attend, therefore we are unable to always provide parking, or be close to accessing local cafes. You are encouraged prior to attending to consider what refreshments you will need, and where you may be able to park. We would encourage you to take into account additional time you may need for parking, etc, in order to arrive at your sessions on time.
Our aims
- To provide information in a way that is helpful, engaging and non-threatening
- To present information that will de-stigmatise mental illness and other related issues

Looking After Yourself to Support Your Child
Parenting, caring for and supporting a child or young person experiencing mental and emotional difficulties is common, however, it can be a lonely, emotional and stressful experience. We recognise parents and carers are key to supporting the mental health of their children, however, there is often a lack of support for the experiences of parents and carers. This workshop will focus on the needs and challenges for parents and carers, as well as provide a range of practical advice and strategies around how to look after yourself in order to better support the wellbeing of your child.
