As a parent of a child with mental health and SEN needs, I know first hand just how tough and lonely it can feel at times. Holding Space provides a lifeline for so many other parents going through similar struggles. I now work with Holding Space as a Parent Carer Peer Support Worker using my lived experience to help other parents. Every penny raised goes towards making sure no parent has to face their journey alone.
