About this Event

What you’ll gain from this session:
Parenting neurodivergent children, especially when you may be neurodivergent yourself, can be relentless.

This session will explore:

What burnout really looks like (especially in ND parents)
The difference between stress, overwhelm and nervous system shutdown
Why traditional self-care advice often doesn’t work for neurodivergent parents
Identifying early warning signs
Practical regulation tools for busy parents
Creating sustainable support rather than crisis cycles

This is a validating, honest session. No judgement. No “just try harder.” Just real strategies that honour your capacity.

This event is also open to professionals who work with children/young people with additional needs and/or disabilities in North Somerset.
