June-July Family Matters Courses and Events

Please see below information from York Family Matters about their upcoming courses and events.

Feeling frazzled?

Feeling the heat and pressure of family life? Join our Parenting courses & events to discover ways to stay cool and calm in the middle of it all.

Sunshine and blue skies beckon (although there are no guarantees with the British weather!). As the summer approaches, we look forward to cloudless skies, BBQ’s and relaxing with friends and family. But as the temperatures rise, so can the heat in our family life! Tempers can fray with the longer days; our patience can be stretched to the limits with the season of school exams. At Family Matters York, we understand!

We would love to support you and your family in helping you to stay cool this summer. We offer FREE parenting courses & events across the city to give you a safe space to learn and share ideas with others, to help make your family life more enjoyable this summer. Sign up to our parenting courses – starting soon: https://fmy.org.uk/york/ We would love to see you. For an overview of our upcoming June/July 2023 courses, click hereFamily Matters York

Family Matters Courses for January ’23

‘Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when we can celebrate with friends and family and take a break from our usual family routines. We do hope that you have a lovely festive season, but we also know that it can be a very testing time as we navigate different family expectations and hopes. We understand that this puts extra strain on parenting. So, as we enter 2023, join us to share ideas and concerns, and to consider simple strategies to support your parenting in the new year. We have a range of evidence-based courses coming up which will equip you with the tools you need to parent more confidently.

Here at Family Matters York we want to wish you and your family a Very Happy Christmas and our warmest wishes that 2023 brings you and your family closer together. We look forward to seeing you in 2023!
