Togetherness


 What is Togetherness?
Togetherness is designed to support parents at every stage of their journey from pregnancy through to adolescence. These courses empower parents to:
  • Understand their child’s brain development and emotional health.
  • Decode behaviours and respond effectively to foster positive interactions.
  • Develop strong communication skills to nurture confidence, kindness, and emotional awareness in children.
SSAFA Community Health recognises the importance of raising emotionally resilient and socially aware children within our community, particularly for British Forces families living overseas. This programme complements the highly regarded health services delivered by our charity worldwide.
