This course\, “Emotional Resilience for Parents of Children with SEND\,” is designed to help parents navigate the complex emotions that come with this journey. Delivered by Natalie Fernando\, a counselling skilled coach and qualified family mediator\, this course provides a safe and supportive environment for parents to explore their feelings\, build resilience\, and find strength in their unique parenting experience. \n  \nCourse Objectives:\n\nUnderstanding Emotions: Gain insight into the common emotional responses to raising a child with SEND\, including grief\, guilt\, and anxiety.\nBuilding Resilience: Learn practical strategies to build emotional resilience and cope with stress.\nEffective Communication: Develop skills for open and honest communication with family members\, educators\, and healthcare providers.\nSelf-Care: Discover the importance of self-care and how to integrate it into your daily routine.\nSupport Networks: Connect with other parents and professionals to build a supportive community.\n\n  \nCourse Highlights:\n\nExpert Guidance: Sessions led by a qualified counsellor with extensive experience in supporting families of children with SEND.\nPersonal Stories: Hear from other parents who have navigated similar emotional journeys\, sharing their experiences and insights.\nResource Toolkit: Build a variety of strategies and tools to help support your own emotional wellbeing whilst advocating for your child/children.\n\n  \nWho Should Attend:\nThis course is ideal for parents and caregivers of children with SEND who are seeking emotional support and practical strategies to manage their thoughts & feelings. \n  \n★ Part 1: Wednesday 10th June – 10.00am to 12noon \n★ Part 2: Wednesday 17th June- 10.00am to 12noon \n★ Part 3: Wednesday 24th June- 10.00am to 12noon \n★ Part 4: Wednesday 1st July – 10.00am to 12noon \n★ Part 5: Wednesday 8th July – 10.00am to 12noon \nPlease read carefully before registering your interest:\n\nParents must be able to commit to attending all five sessions.\nPlease register your interest by emailing admin@snapcharity.org – we will then confirm places and send details on how to pay to secure your place.\nThis course is in-person at The SNAP Centre and will not be recorded.\nSNAP is unable to accommodate children at this session – a creche will not be available.\n\n  \n\n\n\nSNAP is charging a nominal fee for registered SNAP families and this is not a true reflection of the cost. However SNAP appreciates that the rise in the cost of living has impacted families with children with additional needs more than most\, and do not want a family’s financial situation to be a barrier to accessing services. Please contact SNAP if this is impacting on you accessing the course so we can discuss options.  \n  \n\n\n\nEmail admin@snapcharity.org to register your interest.\nThis course has been funded by donations raised in memory of Mark Reed\, who sadly passed away last year. Mark was an amazing man and a tremendous supporter of SNAP for many years. We are incredibly grateful.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\nStart: Wednesday 10th June 2026\nCost: £50 per registered SNAP family\n\nVenue: The SNAP Centre \n\n\n\nPastoral Way\, Warley\, Brentwood\, CM14 5WF\, United Kingdom \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Request to receive Parent and Carer support \n\n \n \nGet Help\n \n \n Help support The SNAP Centre and Services \n\n \n \nGet Involved\n \n \n Enquire about volunteering opportunities at SNAP \n\n \n \nGet Volunteering\n \n \n Follow Us\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Helpline: 01277 211300\nEmail: familyteam@snapcharity.org\n9.00am until 4.00pm Monday to Thursday\nand 9.00am until 3.00pm on Friday. \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Volunteer for SNAP\nHelping out at our centre or supporting one of our many activities. Find out more » \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Directory/Our Impact/Need Support/Get Involved/About/Contact/Terms & Conditions/Privacy Policy/Cookie Policy/Safeguarding/Fundraising Policy/Compliments & Complaints/Accessibility URL:https://www.snapcharity.org/event/emotional-resilience-2/ LOCATION:The SNAP Centre\, Pastoral Way\, Warley\, Brentwood\, CM14 5WF\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.snapcharity.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Emotional-resilience-2160-x-1080-px-scaled.png GEO:51.6087112;0.2930008 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The SNAP Centre Pastoral Way Warley Brentwood CM14 5WF United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pastoral Way\, Warley:geo:0.2930008,51.6087112 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260620T133000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260620T163000 DTSTAMP:20260524T131147 CREATED:20260413T130608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260414T130618Z UID:24185-1781962200-1781973000@www.snapcharity.org SUMMARY:SNAP's Mighty Mud Challenge DESCRIPTION:SNAP’s Mighty Mud Challenge\nOvercoming obstacles together – for families who face them every day\nSaturday 20th June – 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n   \nEntry Fees \n\nAdult (16+): £30 (£75 suggested fundraising – FREE t-shirt)\nChild: £20 (£45 suggested fundraising – FREE t-shirt)\n\n\nCorporate Team Package (Team of 5)\n£200 per team (£40pp)\nIncludes entry\, FREE t-shirts\, one simple booking\, and social media recognition.\nSuggested fundraising: £500 per team Additional team members: £30pp (includes t-shirt) \nComplete the form below to register your interest and a member of our fundraising team will be in touch to get you signed up. \nClick here to reserve your spot now\n  \nIf you would like to ask any further questions\, please contact via events@snapcharity.org or 01277 245345. \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \nStart: June 20\, 1:30 pm\nEnd: June 20\, 4:30 pm\n\n\nVenue: Nuclear Essex \nOngar Road\, Kelvedon Hatch\, Essex\, CM15 0LA\, United Kingdom \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Request to receive Parent and Carer support \n\n \n \nGet Help\n \n \n Help support The SNAP Centre and Services \n\n \n \nGet Involved\n \n \n Enquire about volunteering opportunities at SNAP \n\n \n \nGet Volunteering\n \n \n Follow Us\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Helpline: 01277 211300\nEmail: familyteam@snapcharity.org\n9.00am until 4.00pm Monday to Thursday\nand 9.00am until 3.00pm on Friday. \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Volunteer for SNAP\nHelping out at our centre or supporting one of our many activities. Find out more » \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Directory/Our Impact/Need Support/Get Involved/About/Contact/Terms & Conditions/Privacy Policy/Cookie Policy/Safeguarding/Fundraising Policy/Compliments & Complaints/Accessibility URL:https://www.snapcharity.org/event/mighty-mud-challenge/ LOCATION:Nuclear Essex\, Ongar Road\, Kelvedon Hatch\, Essex\, CM15 0LA\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Get Involved,SNAP Social Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.snapcharity.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/mighty-mud-1000-x-523-px.png GEO:51.6741457;0.2639737 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Nuclear Essex Ongar Road Kelvedon Hatch Essex CM15 0LA United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Ongar Road:geo:0.2639737,51.6741457 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260624T120000 DTSTAMP:20260524T131147 CREATED:20260513T110418Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260513T110418Z UID:24444-1782297000-1782302400@www.snapcharity.org SUMMARY:Coffee Morning with an Occupational Therapist DESCRIPTION:Coffee Morning with an Occupational Therapist\nJune 24 – 10.30am to 12noon at The SNAP Centre\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Specialist Talk\n\nThe Great Little OT Practice is a local\, independent Occupational Therapy service where Aaron Preston and his team have been supporting children and families in Essex for nearly 20 years\, across both the NHS and independent sector.
