Who we are
We are Rach and Lou, professionals working in education, mental health, change and coaching for the last 20 years. We are both mothers of teenagers who have experienced and are experiencing mental health difficulties and we understand first hand the challenges of parenting in this space.
We have experienced the impact of mental health difficulties on education, exam results, the family unit, relationships and much more besides.We also know how lonely it feels to be navigating this territory alone and without much support.
This is why we have established The Parent Backpack to give you the tools, techniques, skills and capabilities you need for yourself and your child or young person.
Our Wonderful Children
Between us we have four children, Ellie, Finn, Felix and Barney. Being their Mum or Auntie is a blessing and a privilege we are grateful for every day. Especially on the difficult days.

We are welcoming Founding Members to our initial group of 20 people who will experience The Parent Backpack for the first time.
