Our Children’s Occupational Therapy Service is holding a new series of Sensory Regulation Workshops for parents and carers.

You’ll have an opportunity to speak to Occupational Therapists and ask any questions you might have.

Advice leaflets will be available to take home 🏘️

You do not need to pre-book or make a referral to Occupational Therapy to attend.

Come along to one of following sessions:

⏺️ 16 September - Involve House, Magherafelt.
⏺️ 13 October - Sandel Centre, Coleraine.
⏺️ 17 November - Town Hall, Carrickfergus.

Each workshop will begin at 6.30pm and will last approximately two hours, with a short break in the middle.

Please note, your child should not attend and will not need to be seen by Occupational Therapy, unless a further request for support is indicated ☺️

Mixing any drugs, which includes any combination of prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, illicit drugs or alcohol can be dangerous.

It’s safest not to use any drugs at all. But if you still choose to use them, reduce your risk of harm:

• Dose low and go slow
• Stick to one drug
• Never use alone

If you or someone you’re with has taken something and start to feel unwell don’t wait, get help. Find a medic or call 999 in an emergency.

Your safety matters!
