What will I have to do?
By taking part in this research, you will have a chance to talk freely, honestly, and openly about your experiences, without judgement. Doing this may help you to understand your experiences better, and allow you to explore what it was like for you as a parent.
If you would like to take part in this research, you can either choose to write a piece about your experience of when your child went for therapy, or you can take part in an interview about this experience.
If you choose to write something about your experience, you can email this to me at Julia.Clark.1@city.ac.uk. If you would like to take part in an interview, you will be invited to come and meet with me, at a time and location convenient for you, or can choose to take part in the interview over Skype. The interview will last for about 90 minutes, and will be audio tape recorded. I will ask you some questions about your thoughts and feelings about when your child, or children, went through therapy, and you will be free to answer these questions in as much or as little detail as you would like, and can talk about your experience in any way you want to.
You will be free to decide that you no longer want to take part in this research at any point during the interview or writing your story.
All of the information you give will be made anonymous so that you cannot be identified, and will be kept confidential.
Your information will be used for no reason other than for research.
