Please note: The locations that we will host our workshops at are Nottingham, Northampton, Derby, Buxton, Leicester, and Grantham. You can see below the workshops that are open for bookings, and those that have a provisional date. When the provisional workshops become open for bookings, we will update our social media platforms, and update this page.

If there is a specific workshop that you would like to attend, but it is not yet open for bookings, please wait until your chosen location/workshop is ready to book instead of booking a different one temporarily.

When we receive bookings for our workshops, we confirm numbers with the hotels and venues and pay them for the event, the delegate spaces, and lunch/refreshments. If we advertise that one of our provisional dates is now open for bookings and get lots of cancellations and re-bookings on different workshops, it makes it difficult for us to fill the spaces last minute for an already paid for event. Although tickets are free to attendees, they aren't free to the charity. Thank you for understanding.

Due to limited place availability and funding purposes, the workshops are only for parents or the primary caregiver of children and young people with OCD. Therefore, we are sadly unable to offer places at this time to the following:

Our parents and carers service aims to increase your knowledge and awareness of mental health and boost your confidence in coping with and addressing your child or young person's mental health.

Whether they are suffering from anxiety, depression, stress or disordered eating, our peer support service can help you support your young person - and in doing so help improve your own well-being by meeting other parents and carers.

The service will include fortnightly online meetings, where you can discuss your concerns, build strategies to help you support your child and meet other parents and carers. All meetings are hosted and mediated by a member of staff from West Sussex Mind.

We support parent and carers of school-age children (five to 18 years) across West Sussex by providing:

Fortnightly online peer support meetings for parents and carers of primary-age children

Fortnightly online peer support meetings for parents and carers of secondary-age children

Talks by 'Experts by Experience' on specific topics, such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-harm, disordered eating and gender identity

One-to-one telephone support before joining the service

A closed Facebook group

Casual check-in coffee mornings (virtual initially and expanding as we recruit volunteers)

Signposting to other services as appropriate.

Thinking of suicide?

Are you, or is a young person you know, not coping with life? For confidential suicide prevention advice contact HOPELINE247.

My whole way of thinking has changed. I feel positive about my future and the people around me. I'm now looking forward to the future and helping others just like me!

Thank you so much for the incredible support PAPYRUS and HOPELINE247 has given me. You helped me in that moment and it kept me alive.

I intend to continue to fundraise for and promote PAPYRUS. I am so proud and humbled to be involved with a wonderful charity, and to have received the support that I have.

Having been personally bereaved by suicide I understand the importance and need for our charity. I am surrounded by others who are as passionate as I am about saving lives.
