Give Us A Break [DVD]

Product Information

A London wheeler dealer is extremely put out at having to look after his girlfriend's younger brother from Liverpool. Things change, however, when he discovers that he is a snooker prodigy.

The aim of the group is not to provide respite but to provide a safe and understanding environment for children and young people to participate in activities with their families. However some children do attend with a carer or PA allowing the rest of the family to have a break. Other parents and families offer support and there are opportunities to share ideas and information. Children and young people can attend activities with their brothers and sisters and other members of their families knowing that other families will understand and support them. Brothers and sisters are welcome to join in. Bullying affects so many children and adults and the results can be damaging for them and everyone around them. If you are suffering, speak up, and if you see it, stand up to it. Please share, even if this makes a difference to one person. Give Us a Break is a British comedy drama television series [1] which was originally broadcast on BBC One in a series of seven episodes between 22 September an 3 November 1983 with a feature-length Christmas Special the following year. [2] Synopsis [ edit ] The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild. Give us a break! is a bereavement and loss programme that is overseen by Psychological Services within South Lanarkshire Council’s Education Resources. It was originally developed by a partnership between Psychological Services, NHS Lanarkshire and MacMillan Cancer. There was a perceived need for a group-based programme for children and young people who were experiencing loos and grief that had a strong focus on strengths and an underpinning solution-focused philosophy. Our research has provided evidence that Give us break! positively impacts on young people in terms of the factors which contribute to their resilience.It is aimed at children and young people between 2-25 years old, with severe and complex learning difficulties and physical impairments. It was established in Wolverhampton to allow children with special needs to have access to activities that are appropriate to their needs and interests. When a baby lives only a short time or dies before birth due to miscarriage, stillbirth or a painful decision to end the pregnancy, people may assume that the loss is not important. This is simply not the case. We want to see all schools take decisive action to create environments and cultures where all children feel safe and supported without the fear of bullying at schools, cyber bullying, and within the community. There have been some horrific cases in the media and we as a Charity continue to campaign to raise awareness with this growing concern exacerbated further by mate crime, cyber bullying, which has led to some tragic outcomes.

Anna Kennedy Online, the UK Charity, is to continue raising awareness, and training on autism, to prevent bullying of children with autism in our schools and colleges with our campaign ‘Give us a Break!’ Too often these children are seen as the problem; as not ‘fitting in’ or ‘not settling down’. For the last few years during National Anti-Bullying Week our Give Us a Break is a national ongoing campaign that Anna Kennedy Online continue to highlight. The criteria for eligibility is that the child would find it difficult or impossible to access mainstream activities. The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent. A parent of children under 18 dies every 22 minutes in the UK; around 23,600 a year. This equates to around 111 children being bereaved of a parent every day.Children and young people grieve just as much as adults but they show it in different ways. Find out how you can help them and more about child grieving. Child Bereavement UK’s animation 'The Invisible Suitcase’ wins at Big Syn International Film Festival Give Us A Break is a charity run by volunteers in the Wolverhampton area providing activities during school holidays for children and young people with severe and complex learning difficulties and physical impairments. We have information leaflets about the programme for young people and parents/carers and posters for display in partner agencies.
