We Are Partnering with SAMH Partner to Bring Caring for Young People at The Nook in Glasgow
The new partnership will give parents and caregivers of young people the opportunity to take part in a supportive, structured, relationship-based programme designed to promote young people’s and their caregivers’ mental health, well-being, and resilience during adolescence.
Over the past few weeks, Mellow Parenting team members Stewart McLean and Juliet Sebley have had the pleasure of meeting with staff and volunteers at SAMH’s The Nook in Glasgow.
The visits provided a valuable opportunity to learn more about the support offered by The Nook and to hear about the positive difference the team is making for people who use the service. Stewart and Juliet were particularly impressed by the welcoming environment and the range of support available.
As part of this new partnership, Mellow Parenting will offer Caring for Young People .
Caring for Young People is delivered through a flexible 12-session group model. The programme provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing space where caregivers of young people can explore teens brain development, emotions, relationships, and share their lived experiences. This programme is being delivered in Falkirk Council, Edinburgh Council, and other areas across Scotland, supporting caregivers of young people who are struggling with their mental health and with their relationship with their young person.
Using strengths-based activities and individual reflective journals, the programme supports parents and carers to increase their sense of well-being, build emotional awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen their relational skills.
The programme will begin in October 2026, with full details about dates, times, and how to book a place to be announced here. This will be the first time the programme will be offered on a self-referral basis to individuals who are interested in taking part.
In the meantime, anyone who would like more information about how they, or someone they care about, can request a place in the group is invited to contact enquiries@mellowparenting.org. Mellow Parenting is excited to be working alongside SAMH and looks forward to welcoming parents and caregivers to The Nook this autumn.
