Kidstime Workshop Volunteer

2 months ago


London, United Kingdom Our Time Full time

We are looking for warm, dedicated KidsTime volunteers who are passionate about supporting families where parents or carers struggle with mental illness.

KidsTime offers a supportive and relaxed space for families that live with mental illness in a parent. Young people can express themselves amongst others in the same situation, without feeling exposed or judged. This is often the first time they have spoken about their parent’s difficulties, but there is no stigma or shame here.

Together, they learn about mental illness through discussion, drama and games, and through this understanding comes resilience and compassion. By finding support, they gain confidence and strength. But these sessions are also fun, and often light-hearted - children can be children and not take on adult responsibilities and roles.

Meanwhile, their parents can connect with each other, creating a supportive social network. Adults can talk as parents not as patients. They can see their children grow, and feel pride at their achievements. This has a powerful impact on the relationship between parent and child.

Each KidsTime workshop is facilitated by a mental health lead, a family coordinator and a drama practitioner. Volunteers support the project team to deliver the workshops. Welcoming families, setting up and facilitating games and group activities, and also ordering food and setting up filming equipment, they are crucial part of making sure the KidsTime Workshops run smoothly and families get as much out of them as possible.
