I am really excited and proud to be working - as an Assistant Facilitator - on the Healthy Parent Carer Programme, which is run by PenCRU at Exeter University. The parent carers of children with additional needs are often vulnerable to poor health and wellbeing and are often marginalised. Through a series of six workshops, the programme aims to improve health and wellbeing among this group. During the first half of 2019, the programme is being run in six locations in Devon and Cornwall.
My own role on the project is as an Assistant Facilitator. I will be working in Dawlish in Devon and the first workshop is on May 1, 2019. I am looking forward to further developing my workshop and participatory facilitation skills that I have developed through my own participatory research. At the same time, I really keen to learn new skills, especially working on such potentially challenging issues, and I am excited about the very direct positive benefit that the programme has for parent carers. I am looking forward to contributing to the programme in 2019 and - hopefully - as it grows in the future.
