Our next Wellbeing programme starts in May, with sessions on Thursday mornings at the Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery & Library in Brecon.

Led by Contact’s Parent Advisor, Sophie Barker, these sessions are fun, positive and relaxed. They will help you build confidence, manage stress and make positive changes. It’s for any parent carer who has a child with a disability or additional needs – diagnosed or not.

Wellbeing Workshop in Welshpool Wednesday 7th May 2025, 11:00-13:00

This is a one-off workshop led by Contact and supported by Credu Carers. It’s for parents and carers to have time away from their caring role to focus on themselves and prioritise their needs. Warm drinks, a buffet, and a pamper pack will be provided to all attendees.

Book your place now.

Let’s Chat! Online parent carer drop-Ins

Our online parent drop-ins are now happening on the first and third Thursdays of every month.
Run by Contact volunteers, they offer a relaxed and supportive space where you can chat with others who understand your situation.

Each drop-in has a theme, but we cover other topics too. So grab a cuppa and join us from the comfort of your sofa for a few minutes or the whole hour.

May dates and topics:

1/5/2025- Finding your tribe, fitting in, making decisions
15/5/2025- Behaviour, overwhelm, meltdowns, shutdowns

Join now on Eventbrite.

Our workshops and drop-ins are funded by the National Lottery Community Fund as part of Contact Cymru’s Building Resilience programme. Workshops are delivered in English.

Wedi’u harwain gan Gynghorydd Rhieni Contact, Sophie Barker, mae’r sesiynau hyn yn hwyl, yn gadarnhaol ac yn hamddenol.

Gweithdy Llesiant yn y Trallwng Dydd Mercher 7 Mai 2025, 11:00-13:00

Gweithdy untro yw hwn sy’n cael ei arwain gan Contact a’i gefnogi gan Ofalwyr Credu. Mater i rieni a gofalwyr yw cael amser i ffwrdd o’u rôl ofalu i ganolbwyntio arnynt eu hunain a blaenoriaethu eu hanghenion. Darperir diodydd cynnes, bwffe, a phecyn maldod i bawb sy’n mynychu.

Dewch i Sgwrsio! Sesiynau Galw Heibio ar-lein i Rieni sy’n Ofalwyr

Mae ein sesiynau galw heibio ar-lein i rieni bellach yn digwydd ar y dydd Iau cyntaf a’r trydydd dydd Iau o bob mis.

Yn cael eu rhedeg gan wirfoddolwyr Contact, maen nhw’n cynnig gofod hamddenol a chefnogol lle gallwch chi sgwrsio ag eraill sy’n deall eich sefyllfa.
Mae thema i bob sesiwn galw heibio, ond rydym yn ymdrin â phynciau eraill hefyd. Felly cydiwch mewn paned ac ymunwch â ni o gysur eich soffa am ychydig funudau neu’r awr gyfan.

Dyddiadau a phynciau mis Mai:

1/5/2025- Dod o hyd i’ch llwyth, ffitio i mewn, gwneud penderfyniadau
15/5/2025- Ymddygiad, gorlethu, toddi, cau i lawr

I gael rhagor o wybodaeth am unrhyw un o’r sesiynau hyn, cysylltwch â ni ar [email protected]

Ariennir ein gweithdai a’n sesiynau galw heibio gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol fel rhan o raglen Meithrin Cadernid Cyswllt Cymru. Darperir gweithdai yn Saesneg.
