About this Event
Neurodiversity Carers Connect is a 8-session In-Person Peer Support program facilitated by peers and mentors with lived experience of both neurodivergence and caring. The program is designed as an opportunity for you to meet other parents and carers, make new connections and learn about a strength-based approach to caring for, or with, Autism, ADHD and other developmental, learning and sensory differences.
The program enables families to connect with peers in a supportive neuro-friendly environment, build positive neurodivergent identity, and learn how to support well-being and harmony at home. The groups are carer-led so any topics or activities will be determined by you and the other carers in your group.
Topics could include;
- common difficulties within neurodiverse families
- strategies and resources recommended by those with lived-experience of neurodivergence
- understanding differences in neurodivergent brains and behaviour
- nervous system regulation strategies
- self-care for neurodivergent people and their carers
- advocating at school
This program will be delivered over 8 fortnightly sessions that will be held from 10:30am - 12:30pm on Tuesdays starting from 26th May, 2026. Carers are encouraged to attend all sessions to get the most out of the experience.
