Parenting
a child with ADHD.
Many children
with ADHD have difficulty managing their lives. Parents of these children
can benefit from knowing more about how they can provide their children
with practical and useful support. Educational Psychologist, Stephanie
Fitzgerald, will talk with parents on how to develop practical interventions
and strategies that might help their children. The talk is on Thursday
Oct. 15th next at 7.30 p.m. in the Mayo Education Centre,
Westport Road, Castlebar. The event is being hosted by the Family
Centre and the Education centre. The presentation is also suitable
for teachers. Admission is free.
Rainbows
for Children.
The Rainbows
programme supports children between the ages of 7 years and 18 years
who have experienced loss through a separation within their family or
through the death of a loved one. The programme runs for one hour one
evening a week over a period of 12 weeks in total. The programme helps
children to come to terms with the loss within a small group of children
of a similar age to themselves. An information night for parents and
guardians will take place in the Family Centre, Chapel St., Castlebar
on Wed. 21st Oct. at 8 p.m. The Rainbows programme itself

Therapy
group for women who want to lose weight.
If you have had trouble losing
weight in the past then this time could be different. A 10 week therapy
group for women will run in the Family Centre, Chapel St., Castlebar
starting on Monday 19th Oct. at 10.30 am. The group will
focus on developing cognitive skills to help you feel more confident
about following your diet more consistently. Those who attend will be
empowered to look at how their thinking and behaviour sabotages their
commitment to weight control so that they can respond in a different
way in future. The group will be kept to a maximum of seven women. It
will be facilitated by Mitzie Murphy who has a lot of experience in
this area of work. Mitzie has a B.Sc. in Psychotherapy. For further
information and booking contact the Family Centre at Chapel St., Castlebar
