A LOCAL parent has launched a series of wellbeing workshops for the parents of home educated children. The events will be run on a non-profit basis, aiming to build community and resilience among families.
Each event will have a guest facilitator covering areas such as intentions and goal setting, troubleshooting, and art for wellbeing. Prices are tiered to accommodate a range of family incomes.
Organiser Jennifer Connor explains, “Families opt to home educate for many reasons, and always with the best intentions for their unique child. Frome has a thriving home education scene and while there are many groups for children to attend – I saw a need to create a space just for parents. These sessions are a place where we can share experiences, chat and laugh, as well as learn new skills which support our journey – both as parents and educators.
“We are so lucky in Frome to have such fantastic wellness practitioners. Creating something that specifically benefits the home ed community is very exciting. We will also have tea and cake at the ready.”
The three monthly sessions will take place on the last Sunday of the month at the Bennett Centre in Frome from 2pm to 4pm on Sunday 30th April, Sunday 28th May and Sunday 25th June. Tickets can be booked online: https://tiny url.com/S undayHomeEdSessions1
