CALM & CONNECTED

A 5 step, 35 day programme to enable you to equip your pre-teen child to manage their stress and emotions

Take the course in your own time, we guide you every step of the way, with support from a psychologist where needed.

If you have a pre-teen child (aged 9-12) whose behaviour can be challenging...

 

If family life is not as calm and happy as you want it to be...

 

If you want your child to be calmer and happier...

 

You have probably tried a lot of things already. It may be time to take the next step, and get some guided, step-by-step support that is clear, simple, and will help you feel in control again.

 

Perhaps your child has regular anger outbursts at the flick of a switch, and you are not sure what to do.

 

Perhaps family life is often fraught and you feel like you are treading on eggshells.

Perhaps you worry about your child's wellbeing and want them to thrive, not just survive.

 

Just by recognizing these things you have already made a start in changing things for the better. You are in the right place, so take a deep breath and read on.

By the end of the course

you will…

 

  • Understand why your child is feeling and behaving the way they are.

  • Understand how stress and anger affect the body and mind.

  • Develop a step by step, individualized action plan to help your child.

  • Put that plan into action and start to review your results.

  • Know what steps to take to avoid ever feeling overwhelmed by your child's behaviour again. 

"Lucy has been helping our family for over 5 years now. We started seeing her when our now 15 year old was in year 5 at primary, at this stage we didn’t see how he would manage at secondary school. The school environment is very difficult, with sensory processing disorder. Causing huge anxiety and stress, especially as he got older. 

Lucy very quickly realised that he liked to draw and used this as a technique for getting him to explain how he was feeling and also for her to explain how the brain worked and to  validate how he was feeling and his emotions. Which then allowed her to teach/suggest techniques to help with this. 

We were lucky in finding a excellent (mainstream) secondary school that look after him very well, Lucy has been into his school and worked with support staff to teach them the same techniques to ensure a consistent approach. 

As parents Lucy has given us so much support too, giving us confidence and resilience when needed."

Lucy is a true professional and worked well with my daughter.  We were delighted with the outcome of the consultation and it helped us to receive further support and advice as a result of our work with Lucy.
I would recommend Lucy to any parent who needs help with their child’s development.
- Mum of a teenage girl who came to Everlief

 

“Lucy took great care to listen to us carefully, identify the issues and help us understand our son’s behaviour.  As a direct consequence of her help we’ve been able to offer enhanced support to our son.”

- Parents of a young teenage boy who was supported by Lucy at Everlief

 

"Lucy’s expertise, insight, clarity and compassion made a huge difference to my teenage daughter when she was suffering from anxiety and depression. She has a gift for explaining what is happening both physically and mentally during times of stress, turning a frightening crisis into a situation which is understandable, and making the process of recovery seem both natural and achievable. You couldn’t ask for a better person to turn to for help and advice."

- Mum of a teenage girl who had therapy with Lucy at Everlief

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need to commit?

It varies across the modules but ideally you will commit to setting aside 2-3 hours per week, for the 5 weeks of the course. (You can spread this out over a longer time period if you prefer.) This includes watching the videos, reading and filling out the PDFs and putting the strategies in place.

Do I have to complete the course in 35 days (5 weeks)?

No! You can complete the course in your own time - take 5 months or even a year if you need to. You will have lifetime access to the course and you can also download the PDFs and videos to look at whenever you want. The Facebook group will remain open for 2 months after the course starts.

How do I get support if I get stuck or have a question?

There are 3 ways you can get support:

- Submit a question (anonymously if you prefer) for the weekly Q&A in the private group.

- Ask other members of the private Facebook group.

- Send us a message.

My child is autistic/ has ASD/ASC. Is this course suitable?

Yes. Dr Lucy Russell wrote the course, and autism is one of her specialisms. The course is suitable for children who are on the autistic spectrum and those who are not. There is one possible exception: Children with a PDA ("pathological demand avoidance") profile within the autism spectrum. If you think this might apply to you, contact Lucy to discuss it further: [email protected].

My child is on the waiting list for an NHS service such as CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services). Can I still do the course while I wait?

Yes you can. But whether you are doing the course or not, if at any point you are concerned about the safety of your child or others (eg if your child has self-harmed or has threatened to hurt someone) you should always seek immediate help, from your GP (doctor) if less urgent, or by calling an ambulance or attending an accident and emergency department. 

Is this course an alternative to therapeutic support from a psychologist, psychotherapist or counsellor?

No. This course is not the same as therapy. It is self-guided. Some families have complex difficulties and need face to face support. If you think you may need face to face support, your GP (doctor) can advise you about your options locally.

Still thinking about it? CALM & CONNECTED could be perfect for you if...

3. You recognize that your current family life doesn't fit with the vision you once had for family life and you want to do something about it.

I'm here to support you through CALM & CONNECTED

My clinic in Buckinghamshire, Everlief, has grown exponentially in the last 8 years and now has a team of more than 20 psychologists and therapists. Yet, sadly, we cannot even come close to meeting the demand for our face to face services.

That's why I have made it my mission to create this low-cost course, so that more parents can get help and guidance they need to improve their children's wellbeing and improve family life. Using my years of experience and with input from other members of the fantastic Everlief team, it has taken many months to put together this comprehensive course. I am so happy with what we have achieved, and I am confident that parents who commit to the course will find it makes a difference to family life.

I look forward to seeing you inside the course!
