Parents and Daughters pre Summer Evening Monday 18 July, 18:30 (In-Person) A special evening for parents and daughters about to go away on camp or tour over the summer, following the effects of the lockdowns of last year. Many young girls spent increasing amounts of time on social media during the lockdown and since then we know that there have been higher rates of self harm, eating disorders and/or anxiety. Summers away from home comforts and the safety of family could exacerbate some of these feelings, even if not presently apparent, leaving girls and parents worried for what the summer may have in store. In this facilitated space, Rabbi Hannah and Lynette, our Head of Community Care, alongside an expert child psychologist, will explore the issues raised by lockdown and strategies to respond to this concern. There will be time for parents and daughters together, as well as separate spaces for both parents and children to discuss. All spaces will be confidential. Click here to let us know you are attending.
Emergency Careline – 020 8457 8798 Please use this number if you need urgent pastoral support, for example in cases of hospitalization or bereavement. This number will be answered by a member of the Alyth professional team.
