PACT Parents And Carers Together

PACT Parents And Carers Together Suffolk parent carer peer support organisation for anyone who has a child/young person experiencing poor mental health.

You can support us using this link buymeacoffee.com/pactsuffolk We are parents and carers with lived experience of caring for children and young people with mental health issues. We found, back in 2013 that there was no support, so PACT was created. Discovering that your child is experiencing a mental health issue can be a very isolating and uncertain time. We believe that by supporting each other and educating ourselves we can have a positive impact on our children and young people along with the whole family. Although we are based in Suffolk we are happy to hear from and support any parents who ask. We run regular face to face meet-ups, well-being walks and provide an online support group every Friday evening. We run training (Youth MHFA) and offer small group facilitated sessions on particular themes such as parent-led CBT, sleep issues, ARFID, etc. Feel free to get in touch to find out how we can support you in your journey in family mental health.

“We wanted, understandably and rightly, to remove some of the stigma that historically has surrounded mental illness, and we’ve possibly overcompensated a bit, to the point that it’s become glamorous, in some contexts, for teenagers to boast about their mental problems. It makes them interesting, it gets them attention, it gets them special accommodations.”

Just came across this website, created to support anyone thinking they can’t carry on. A beautiful legacy created by a brother for his brother who felt he couldn’t stay 💜💔

Reasons to Stay is a su***de prevention project reaching people at difficult moments through anonymous letters written by volunteers. Each letter on this site was written by a real person and delivered to you at random when you visited this page.

People just want someone to talk to. That's what emerged when a su***de prevention bus stopped in the town centre, asking passers-by what would make Ipswich better.
