Mindful futures
Parenting 2000 has a new course starting on Sept 9th called ‘Mindful Futures’. It is a six week course taking place in their Southport office (Mornington Road) on Wednesdays at 9.30-2.30. It is for people who would like to gain employment or return to work/training but are struggling due to maybe lacking confidence or feeling anxious about making those first steps. Each week they will be looking at how to feel well enough to make that move using a combination of teacher led sessions, creative arts, project work and mindfulness whilst encouraging plenty of peer led support- they are aiming for a nurturing space with no judgment (both teachers are also therapists).
To be eligible you have to be 19 or over, live in Merseyside and be unemployed (with the right to work in the UK). This includes those who are ‘economically inactive’ (not working but not claiming benefits, for example, parents returning to work after being at home with children).
They provide lunch and cover travel expenses.
They will have 4 cohorts over the course of the 2020/2021 which will always follow school half terms to help those with school-aged children.
