“I didn’t even realise how lost I was… until Project Me reminded me of who I am.” — Monica, Project Me Champion 💚

For many parent carers, life can become a continuous cycle of caring, advocating, giving and simply trying to make it through the day.

Somewhere in that journey, it can become difficult to remember the person behind the caring role.

Monica’s story reminds us why spaces created specifically for parent carers matter.

📍Spaces to pause.
📍Spaces to be heard.
📍Spaces to rebuild confidence.
📍Spaces to reconnect with who you are beyond caregiving.

That same commitment to parent-carer wellbeing continues through Stronger Carers, Stronger Families — a free 12-week programme offering structured online group sessions, peer connection and individual wellbeing support to eligible parent carers in Bromley.

If you have been carrying too much for too long, perhaps it is time to make space for yourself too.

Please note: 📍Stronger Carers, Stronger Families is for Bromley parent carers who have not previously participated in a Project Me cohort.

Self-referrals and professional referrals are welcome.

This video is a powerful reminder that behavior doesn’t always tell the whole story.

What began as a call for an assault turned out to be an autistic child in crisis. Because these officers had training, they were able to turn this into an incredible moment.

Training matters.

Whether you’re a police officer, educator, healthcare provider, or anyone who works with the public, understanding autism and neurodiversity can completely change the outcome of an interaction.

Thank you to the Salt Lake City Police Department for sharing this important example and for highlighting the impact of autism-informed training.
