We have set up a small peer-to-peer mentoring scheme which is open to all our members.
While we keep the details of our mentors private, we can set you up with someone based on the following "specialist" areas:
- Coping with sleep deprivation at work
- Post natal depression
- Adapting to returning to work
- Caring for a relative
- Neo-natal loss
- Work/life balance and flexible working
- Children with special needs
- Adoption
- Dealing with colleagues who lack understanding of your circumstances as a carer/parent
If you would like to be mentored, or you would like to become a mentor, please email parents.and.carers.network@lse.ac.uk. We would especially welcome offers from people who would like to mentor carers, or can offer to share their personal experiences on topics not mentioned above.
