Parenting an autistic child can feel amazing, confusing, and overwhelming, sometimes all in the same day. That's why we host our no-cost monthly online drop-in sessions for parents and carers.

FIRST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH

7pm - 8.30pm

Erik Wagter - host of the drop-in

Platform: Zoom

What these sessions are all about:

We've created a safe, non-judgemental space where parents can bring their questions, share worries and connect with others who 'get it'.

Topics often included:

Understanding and responding to challenging behaviour

Making sense of autism on a deeper level

The ups and downs of family relationships and dynamics

Working with schools and professionals

Meeting like-minded parents and realising you are not alone

Normally we run the monthly drop-ins on the 1st Tuesday of the month but in DECEMBER we run 5 drop-in sessions from Monday 1st December - Friday 5th December.

If you would like to join please send an email to sallywagter@gmail.com and we will send you the Zoom link.
