Mellow Initiative
Mellow Parenting
We are in the process of trying to develop a programme to help support parents with children with additional support needs and we
would welcome your views on some of our ideas.
We are Lindsey Macleod / Cockshott (clinical psychologist) and Rachel Tainsh (programme development officer with Mellow Parenting).
We both have children with additional support needs as well as a good bit of professional experience in this area.
We are keen to work with Isobel Mair School and Family Centre and other colleagues from East Renfrewshire Council to explore ways
of helping parents in the challenges they face in their relationships
with their children. If you would be willing to meet with us for a coffee
and a chat about this we would really appreciate some feedback on our provisional plans. It would be an informal get together and we would very much value your thoughts. If you are interested please come along to “Coffee and Chat” at Isobel Mair School on 3rd May 1:30- 2:30pm.
