My son accessed the Healthy Families six week programme at his secondary school in the Rushcliffe Area. Rachel was fabulous and my son was able to open up to her and talk about his feelings and things he struggles with.
However, after the six weeks were up nothing else happened. It was reported that my son was ok and has a supportive family and would be ok. I advised that I thought he needed further help and asked for the mental health pathway. I was told he would be referred back to school who would help. School had not been helpful previously (they don’t seem to know how to help children with school based anxiety) and I said I didn’t want this to happen. All communication stopped and we were left feeling let down and confused what to do next.
Please strive to support children and their parents after the six week programme or signpost then where to get further help. My son is now doing group and individual sessions with Be U Notts who are fabulous and had we known sooner about them, we would have accessed their services sooner.
