ND CAMHS Parenting Advice & Consultation Service

The ND CAMHS team, in partnership with Deaf Parenting UK, has set up a new service for parents (both hearing and Deaf parents) or both deaf and hearing children living in the Bristol area.

The aim of this service is to provide parents with:

* information

* advice

* peer support group

* relevant signposting

This service will be based at the NDCAMHS clinic at Elmfield School for Deaf children. The service will be opened to parents Wednesdays, from 9am-5pm. Home visits can also be arranged for those living in the Bristol areas.

If you would like to refer a parent to this service, please contact Monica Cherryson  for a referral form.

To access the service, parents must meet the following criteria:

•             Be a deaf parent and have deaf or hearing children aged 8 to 17 years.

or

•             Be a hearing parent and have deaf children aged 11 to 17 years.

And

•             Require some advice regarding parenting their children.

We would welcome any referrals to the service from Bristol, Gloucestershire, BANES, Wiltshire and Somerset.
