Thanks to all the lovely parent carers who came along to our September Drop In Meeting last night. It was great to see new faces and I hope you felt welcome! Fantastic to welcome back 2 Dads as well! We hope that the 'chat' allowed you to feel 'heard' and less isolated in your challenges. 🥰

Neurodiversity: The Teenage Years. A new online workshop from this excellent organisation

🚨 NEW WORKSHOP LAUNCH! 🚨
Understanding Neurodiversity: The Teenage Years

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new workshop from Behaviour Support Hub for parents and carers across Wales.

The teenage years can bring huge changes.
Growing independence.
Changing friendships.
Increased expectations at school.
Big emotions.
New pressures and social expectations.

For neurodivergent teenagers, these changes can sometimes feel overwhelming — and for parents and carers, understanding what is happening and knowing how best to help can be challenging too.

Our new Understanding Neurodiversity: The Teenage Years workshop has been created to help you make sense of some of these changes and explore practical ways to support your teenager.

During this 2.5-hour online workshop, we'll explore:

🔹 Emotional regulation, anxiety and mental wellbeing
🔹 Executive functioning and growing independence
🔹 Friendships, relationships and social expectations
🔹 Masking, identity and self-esteem
🔹 School challenges, attendance and transitions
🔹 Communication, wellbeing and practical support strategies

We'll look at the teenage years from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, recognising that every young person is different.

📅 Wednesday 28th October 2026
🕙 10:00am – 12:30pm
💻 Online
🎟️ FREE
👥 For parents and carers in Wales

Whether your teenager has a diagnosis, is waiting for assessment or you're beginning to explore whether they may be neurodivergent, you're welcome to join us.

This is the first time we're running this workshop, and we'd love you to be part of the launch.
