We’re running a number of online workshops and sports events in Wales over the next month. Take a look at what’s on offer and book your place today….
Free online workshops – from sleep to handling meetings
Contact Cymru (Wales) provides free online workshops on a variety of topics. Our online workshops are held on Zoom, and we can give advice on how to install and use Zoom before the workshop is held. If you prefer to not be visible or audible on screen during the workshop, that’s no problem.
Rare conditions workshop – How to handle meetings and appointments
Tuesday 19th March, 10am-12pm
If you care for a child with a rare condition, you’ve likely been at many meetings and appointments with doctors, teachers, health professionals and support workers.
Confidence in planning, preparing for and handling meetings is a useful skill to have in your toolkit. This session will help you to recognise your strengths and feel better able to express yourself in meetings.
Rare conditions workshop – Wellbeing: looking after you
Thursday 21st March, 10am-12pm
This online workshop will help you to learn new strategies to improve your wellbeing. We will explore the causes of stress and techniques that can help you deal with difficulties. By attending this workshop, you will also receive a free wellbeing goodie bag!
Hemiplegia exclusive workshop – Managing your child’s sleep
Tuesday 26 March, 10am – 12pm
Many children have sleep issues, but this is very common for children with hemiplegia. This session explores some of the issues around sleep and will look at ways of supporting your child, raising awareness of the importance of sleep and the effect on the whole family.
Better Together disability sports sessions
We’re excited to be running two Better Together sports sessions in April for disabled children and young people in Mid & North Wales.
Together with our partners Urdd Gobaith Cymru and the Welsh Rugby Union, these sessions give children the chance to try out a selection of adapted and accessible sporting activities. Parent carers can take the opportunity to meet other families and make friends. Taster sessions on offer include activities such as football, athletics, basketball, cricket, boccia, golf and rugby.
These sessions are for families of children with any additional need or pan-disability, with or without a diagnosis. We don’t turn anyone away.
