Parent/Carer Support
At Dorothy Stringer we offer a range of opportunities for parents and carers to engage in sessions to support student wellbeing. These include sessions can be during the school day and after school covering a range of topics such as relationships and emotional health and wellbeing. The sessions give parents/carers an opportunity to meet and discuss issues that may affect them. Please click on the
relevant link at the side of the page to find out more information.
Parent Support Network Meetings
We invite parents/carers to come along to parent/carer support meetings and discuss (or listen to others talk about) young people's mental health issues and the impact this has on young people and their families.

Top tips from parents last night was to get on 'what's app' groups so that parents can communicate easily, as this is less easy than at primary school, and work together to keep our young folks safe.
Please keep an eye on the newsletter for future talking to your teens workshop events. These rotate between Varndean School and Dorothy Stringer School.
Do get in touch if there is a specific topic you would like to see explored.
