What a privilege to facilitate the first SisterZ Advocates session in Margate this week. Fueled by chocolate doughnuts 🍫😋 we explored "what is self-advocacy and why does it matter"

Every session is creative and interactive, with so much time for discussion and learning together. Each woman having time to grow in confidence. Also developing their knowledge of themselves and practising sharing that with others. These are all such important foundations to then being able to advocate for yourself.

Thank you to for hosting and bringing together this amazing group of women. Thank you too to the grant funding to ensure this training is free for all!

Every Tuesday we have fun together, allowing parents to meet and make friends, to play with their children and for children to make friends with each other.

Our Stay and Play group which we co-lead with Route 23 Coffee Stop is purposely smaller than many toddler groups to help ensure we can make it a really supportive place for your mental health and emotional well-being. We keep the sensory stimulation to a minimum and there's no pressure to join in, although there's always activities for you and your children to enjoy.

We recognise that it's really important that as a parent you have support. Yes, your children matter, but you also matter! The more you feel safe and supported, the beter you can look after your little ones.

We hope you will join us next Tuesday. Every session is completely free for the whole family from 9:30 to 11.15 at Spring Lane Neighbourhood Centre, Sussex Avenue, Canterbury.

How do you care for yourself as a parent after the holidays?

I wonder if you can relate to this? After a school holiday you feel really low and despondent. Struggling with everyday tasks or to get "back on track".

A post holiday slump is often referred to in terms of feeling down after a beautiful week away in a sunny place. But as parents we can feel down after a school holiday for different reasons:
🚸 We might now miss our kids who have returned to school/nursery.
😩We might have been struggling throughout the holiday to cope with all the extra workload and childcare and feel burnt out.
😣We might have really missed the co-regulation of seeing friends and fellow parents at groups we usually attend that stopped in the holidays.
🤫If you are an introvert you might just need space on your own to regulate yourself again.

So today, I want to remind you that it is okay to book in things that care for you within or very soon after a holiday. If you notice this pattern of a post holiday slump then why not try:
🫂Booking to see friends in the holidays at the park or in your own home?
📅Book to see your friends on the Monday as soon as kids are back in school.
📞Phone your friends so that you at least can talk to each other and have those adult conversations.
🌳Book a day off after the holiday as a quiet day to enjoy in silence or in nature just for you.

This is not frivolous or selfish. This is vital to help care for you to then be able to care for others!
