KidsTime Workshops

KidsTime Workshops are fun, supportive group sessions for families where a parent or carer has a mental health condition.

They’re a safe, relaxed and non-judgemental space for families to come together to learn and talk about mental health, without shame or stigma.

Children get to meet other young people in the same situation, share experiences, get answers to questions and, most importantly, have fun.

When do the workshops take place?

The workshops are held once a month in three locations:

• Rainbow Hub, Keighley (1st Thursday of each month)
• Barkerend Hub, Bradford East (2nd Thursday of each month)
• Reevy Hill Hub, Bradford South (3rd Thursday of the each month)

How do I register for a workshop?

You can speak to a professional working with your family about referring to a KidsTime Workshop. 

KidsTime workshops are provided by Bradford District and Craven Mind in partnership with Our Time and Bradford District Care Trust.
