Mencap - Family Support Study

17th Sep 2024

Dear Parents,

Mencap NI is taking part in an exciting study that offers parents who have a child (aged 0 – 6 years) with additional developmental needs access to E-PAtS, an 8-session family support programme.  E-PAtS has been designed by family caregivers and professionals and it provides support for parents’ wellbeing and their child’s learning and development.

Mencap NI is running an E-PAtS group in Strabane/Derry/Londonderry Area this Autumn as part of the study.  If parents take part, they will be selected by chance (like tossing a coin) to either attend an E-PAtS group now or in 12-months’ time.  All parents will receive up to £60 worth of vouchers for completing questionnaires (£120 if 2 family members take part).

To find out more about the E-PAtS programme that starts in early October please contact Lisa, Family Support Co-ordinator, Mencap NI: lisa.mcgrath@mencap.org.uk  or Joanne at University of Kent: lssjearlysupportrct@kent.ac.uk.
