Lantern is offers PATS course for young people aged between 12 and 16 who have a parent with mental illness.
Our next course starts soon and is run over three Saturdays.
Please talk with any young people or parents you feel could benefit from this course and complete a referral form (attached) and return to our office as soon as possible.
This course has been invaluable to young people in the past. It was designed several years ago by the Centre for Adolescent Health and is aimed at helping young people
- to explore their knowledge of mental illnesses
- develop some strategies to assist them when they are worried about their parent
- develop some strategies to look after their own mental health
- connecting to peers
- finding resources they can use into the future.
The sessions will run from 10 am to 2.30pm.
