Little Minds Matter with The Power of Play: Build a Bond Through Play

During 2024, ABSS-funded Build a Bond workshops have guided families to understand how they can support their child’s emotional development and wellbeing through play and deepen the parent/child bond.

 

Delivered by a qualified child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counsellor and a play therapist, the free workshops helped parents / carers discover why play is so important, how to connect through play and build a bond with their children.

 

If you have any questions or concerns around family services in Southend, please contact City Family’s Information and Guidance Service where their Navigators will be able to help.
