COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL PHYCHOLOGY SERVICE

Family Telephone Support Line

In order to support families during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Solihull Community Educational Psychology Service is providing direct access telephone consultation services for parents and carers. This service is available, 5 days a week for all parents and carers who live in Solihull who feel they may benefit from a consultation with a Community Educational Psychologist to support them with concerns they may have at this time. Concerns might include:

• How best to look after your own and/or your child’s mental and emotional well-being on a daily basis;
•  How to talk with children about COVID-19 and their worries related to it;
• How to support children to engage with learning whilst at home;
• How best to maintain social connections whilst complying with social distancing;
• How to manage behaviour that can be challenging or difficult to manage.
   

If you would like to arrange a consultation please call 0121 779 1734. You will be offered an initial telephone consultation of 30 minutes with a Community Educational Psychologist. You will be asked to provide the following information:

• Your name;
•  The telephone number you would like to be contacted on;
• Email address;
• Times and dates you are available for a consultation;
• Your or your child’s school (where relevant);
