Regional SHADES Groups to return
For many years, we have been supporting the parents and carers of children that display challenging behaviours. Bringing these adults together in group sessions can transform lives and we massively support this. During the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 we delivered these sessions online and now that the dust has settled, we are returning to face-to-face delivery. Unfortunately, there’s never been such demand for this support and we are here for you.

Schools Partnership Programme
With increased requests for direct therapeutic support in schools for vulnerable pupils we, at Headsight, soon realised that there was a limit to what could be provided on a direct service basis. We also recognise that the most trusted adults in a child’s life and those who spend the most time with them are the most likely to support positive change.
- A training and qualifications programme for staff across the school.
- Regular supervision and reflective practice sessions.
- Access to additional in- school and outdoor support for vulnerable pupils.
