Title web-lecture: Parenting During the Pandemic
By: Audrius Ivanauskas, lecturer
Content: With the onset of the pandemic, parents faced new challenges: work from home, stress, fears, conflict situations, congestion, etc. They were overflowed with responsibilities and daily worries, such as caring for children’s studies at home or uncertainty about their future. In the presentation, we will discuss these and other important issues and try to find answers on what to do to make it easier for families to meet the challenges of the pandemic.

Title: Parents as Mentors in a Post-Covid world
By: Dr Frances Howard, Senior lecturer & course leader for BA (Hons) Youth Studies
Content: This presentation reports on a new Mentoring Scheme for Girls aged 9-14 who have been deemed at-risk of mental health issues from the return to socialisation following numerous Covid lockdowns and disruptions. The first programme of this kind, supported by Nottinghamshire YMCA, this research captures the reflection of parent (and non-parent) students involved in the scheme. We report on the referrals made to this programme and the barriers put in place by parents, but also on the Mentors use of their prior parental experience in working with their Mentees. We conclude that further work remains to be done around involving parents in these programmes in future to glean the best possible outcomes for the child.
