IOW Wellbeing Service
The aim of the service is to support parents and carers of children and young people living on the Isle of Wight who are experiencing distressing or challenging behaviours.
The Isle of Wight Wellbeing Service works with families to help develop children’s positive behaviour and emotional wellbeing from Year R to Year 7.
To receive support from the Isle of Wight Wellbeing Service, you as a parent need to seek a referral from any member of staff working within health care. This could be your GP, Health Visitor, School Nurse, Paediatrician, OT, CAMHS or any other staff working within health care with whom you may already be involved.
Workshops
The IOW Wellbeing Service run workshops. You do not need to be referred to the service to access these. A lot of the courses are based online, such as:
- What’s Behind the Behaviour
- Child to Parent Violence and Aggression
- Boundaries and Expectations
- Navigating Neurodivergence
- Supporting the anxious child
