Support for Parents & Carers in the Workplace
Parenting a neurodivergent child brings unique challenges that impact an employee’s wellbeing, mental health, and focus at work. We deliver dedicated workshops for parents and carers that explore their personal journeys, offering practical strategies to support both their child and their own self-care. These sessions transform parenting journeys, reducing stress and helping staff balance home life with their careers.
This session was very professionally delivered by experienced trainers with first hand experience of SEND. It was an interactive and thought provoking session which really challenged us to think of our needs are carers as well as those that we care for.
