Explore how small changes in your wellbeing can create big changes for your child
When you’re caring for a child with a developmental delay or disability, your needs often come last. But your wellbeing matters—because when parents thrive, children thrive too.
In this practical and interactive session, we’ll explore how looking after yourself supports your child’s learning, behaviour, and overall development.
You’ll be introduced to PERMA, an evidence-based wellbeing framework from positive psychology, and take away small, realistic steps you can use in everyday life.
You’ll leave with
- A better understanding of how your wellbeing affects your child’s outcomes
- Practical ways to shift from survival mode to a more positive, empowered mindset
- An activity that gives you a real-time experience of improved wellbeing
- Strategies based on the evidence-based PERMA model
- Insight into how reflection and simple actions can lead to greater happiness for the whole family
