✴️There are now 6 Resilient Kids' Ambassadors
✴️Thursday is my monthly “Resilient Parents” gathering and there are 4 spaces for parents keen to check in with others and have a resilience boost too!

Jen Willis on Twitter: "My children aren't part of a generation that need to catch up. They need to reconnect. It's laughing with friends, exercise and activities, messing around on the beach and cuddles with their grandparents that they are missing and now need. https://t.co/Zr6WP1PksO" / Twitter

Three tips for coping with loneliness in lockdown
"Loneliness is such a difficult phenomenon. It has a different meaning to every one of us – you could be surrounded by friends and family and yet still feel lonely; you could be living with your favourite people in the world, and still feel lonely. With the issues that the pandemic is creating, it also seems unlikely that rates of loneliness will slow down either. So what can we do to combat these feelings?"
There are three things that I find important for keeping my mental wellbeing in check and loneliness at bay.

As a dad of two daughters, dealing with everything from friendships, to household chores, to getting a goods nights sleep, the ideas and shares in the group, were useful to both me and to my family. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn and share the parenting journey with others" Tom Watson In this one hour online interactive session, we will explore what you need as a parent right now and respond with various practical tips to help reduce family stress and boost you and your child's mental health and wellbeing.
