🤔 Did you know that Tailored Online Problem-Solving (TOPS‑UK) also supports parents of adolescents with acquired brain injury?

Parents completing TOPS‑UK alongside their adolescent report reduced anxiety & low mood.

✅ TOPS‑UK teaches practical strategies for everyday executive function challenges, including problem‑solving, organisation, & mood.

✅ Sessions are delivered by a trained practitioner via video call, making it easy to complete from home at a convenient time.

✅ The programme includes six to ten tailored sessions that families can complete at their own pace.

✅ Adolescents who have a brain condition since birth & who experience everyday executive function challenges can access TOPS-UK.

✅ TOPS‑UK is free thanks to the generous support of Enable Law, the McCabe‑Walls Family Foundation, and the University of Exeter.

Children will make a creative zine (like a mini magazine) with materials we send them, and receive a gift voucher as thanks.
