Hi Karen,
I came to your parent course helpling to cope and heal in December last year (London). As an alienated parent, I want to be able to help other people . I am also a teacher I feel that informing people about this problem and my experiences is really important to help me deal with this. At your request, I emailed the clinic but have not had a response about getting the resources you mentioned.
I understand that you must be so busy but wondered if you could spare some time to help.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
Matthew

Hi Matthew, unfortunately we have all had flu since mid January and have been very unwell. This has delayed all of our work and put us behind on responding to the many emails we receive. We are slowly trying to catch up, I will flag with the office that you have emailed and we will do our best to respond I this coming week. Kind Regards Karen
