SSAFA the Armed Forces charity confirms new licence to fund Togetherness.co.uk for British Forces families and children living overseas.
The NHS team behind Togetherness, trusted provider of online learning focused on children’s emotional health and wellbeing is delighted to partner with SSAFA to increase access and emotional health support to the Armed Forces overseas community.
Through this collaboration, SSAFA Community Health has funded a multi-user license, enabling all of its overseas families to access a comprehensive range of online learning and resources on Togetherness.co.uk. This makes the online learning pathways freely available as part of their extensive community health services for military families.
Designed to support parents at every stage of their journey, from pregnancy to adolescence, these courses empower parents to better understand their child’s brain development, decode their behaviours, and develop nurturing relationships, all aimed at fostering kindness, confidence, and emotional awareness in children who thrive throughout their lives.
SSAFA Community Health recognises the importance of nurturing emotionally resilient and socially aware children within its community and supporting parents in the British Forces living overseas. The licence complements the highly regarded community health services delivered by the charity around the world.
Key highlights of the Togetherness online learning pathways include:
- Understanding your child’s emotional health and brain development: Parents gain insights into the science behind their child’s brain development, helping them make informed decisions that support healthy cognitive growth.
- Reading your child’s behaviours: These courses will provide parents with tools to interpret and respond effectively to their child’s behaviours, fostering positive interactions and reducing stress for both parents and children.
- Developing communication: Parents will learn strategies for open and effective communication that will strengthen the parent-child bond and promote emotional wellbeing.
Jane Bojdys, Named Safeguarding Professional Lead Public Health Nurse, expressed enthusiasm for this partnership, saying,
“Investing in our parents and children’s emotional health is an investment in the future of our community. We believe that by providing free access to Togetherness online learning pathways, we are empowering our parents with the tools they need to support their children’s well-being and growth.”
To access the courses, SSAFA families can visit togetherness.co.uk/learn and follow the simple registration process inputting the access code MILITARY. Online courses are designed to be accessed anytime, anywhere and are completely private and personal to you.
