Join our Information Sessions

It is so important to understand behaviours (including our own) before we try to manage or adapt them.

Our sessions are designed to help participants understand the condition and its comorbidities, and to explore how behaviours can manifest from them. We look at how these conditions can impact an individual’s or family’s functioning and ways to recover this functionality. We try to build resilience and emotional intelligence by developing strategies that suit our participants with them.

Our sessions are delivered as flexible six-session programmes by our most experienced worker, alongside one of our most trusted parent mentors. During the Covid-19 lockdown, these sessions are being delivered remotely, by video calls.
