Therapeutic Interventions
We provide therapeutic interventions designed to cater to the unique needs of SEND mothers. Through our sessions, these women discover a safe and nurturing environment, where they can participate in healing activities, connect with others facing similar challenges, and draw strength from shared experiences. Our aim is to empower and uplift these mothers on their journey of parenting SEND children.
SEND Law Advocacy
With the help of SEND law advocates, we provide peer to peer, SEND law advocacy and support to SEND mothers; ensuring they have access to the necessary support when navigating legal matters, related to their children’s education and rights. Our knowledgeable team is committed to advocating for their rights, as well as ensuring fair treatment.
Suitable Accomodation
We understand the importance of suitable accommodation for Black SEND mothers and their families. Therefore, we forge strong partnerships with local government agencies. Through this collaboration, we strive to secure housing options that specifically cater to their unique needs; fostering a safe, secure, and comfortable environment where their families can truly thrive.
Mental Health Services
We recognise the importance of mental health for SEND mothers. Our organisation offers information and resources on affordable mental health services, ensuring they access the necessary support. We also offer psychotherapist-led workshops and counseling programmes. Empowering SEND mothers to thrive is at the heart of our mission.
Fun Family Outings
Creating joyful experiences for the whole family is a key focus at Black SEN Mamas. Therefore, we organise family fun days that are SEND friendly, ensuring an inclusive and enjoyable environment for all. These events also allow families to bond, connect with others, and make lasting memories, in a supportive community environment.
Community Workshops
Our community training workshops are intended for anyone who wants to learn more about how to better support SEND families. These workshops are typically offered as a package lasting 2 to 3 hours. They also cover a variety of relevant topics, empowering participants with valuable training to effectively support SEND families.
