Compass Changing Lives provides guidance to parents and carers around improving their knowledge and understanding of how best to support and improve their child’s mental health and wellbeing. We work with parents and carers of children and young people across Derby City and Derbyshire.
There are many ways to make a request to access parent/carer support. Please access our Contact Us page to choose the way that’s right for you.
Following the request for support with Compass Changing Lives, a practitioner will arrange a telephone screening to gather more knowledge before deciding if we are the right service for you and your family, and then work in collaboration to find the most suitable support.
We provide a selection of workshops and resources specifically for parents/carers to ensure you get the right support. These include:
Beyond Behaviour
A child’s difficulties can often present themselves at home rather than showing any signs in school. The Beyond Behaviour group is a 6-week workshop designed to teach parents and carers strategies to support their children to:
- Reduce challenging behaviours
- Regulate their emotions
- Build confidence & independence
- Communicate their feelings

Fear-Less Triple P
Fear-Less Triple P is a programme that supports parents and carers to help their children (aged 6-14 years) recognise and cope effectively with their anxiety and fears. It can help the whole family break free from the stress and anxiety cycle.
The programme is suitable for parents and carers interested in coaching their children to become more emotionally resilient, and better able to express and manage uncomfortable or difficult emotions. It is also suited to parents and carers of children who have moderate to high levels of anxiety, that causes significant distress, or impacts on their everyday functioning.
