Group Work
If you live in Birmingham, Acacia have two young parent groups for parents and parents-to-be aged 24 years or under. You and your family can attend a group in either North or South Birmingham. Come along to play with other children, meet other young parents and talk about mental health and wellbeing. We want these groups to be co-created with you at the heart of them. We encourage you to make suggestions for session topics, craft activities and outings.

It's important to remember that these are not 'drop in' sessions and you will need complete the application form and the PHQ/GAD Mood Score lower down the page if you'd like to come along.  You can also ring us on 0121 301 5990 or use the contact us form if you'd like more information.
