We often hear from Parent Carers about the impact of being on the waiting list and we know you need help now!

For this project, the BNSSG Parent Carer Forums have joined together to provide and host a range of online information sessions and face-to-face workshops. To attend this workshop, you MUST live in Bristol, North Somerset or South Gloucestershire and be the parent and carer of a child awaiting an autism assessment.

Please note that this session is designed to be completed face to face. The training usually allows for plenty of discussion time and is longer to accommodate this. Due to it being completed virtually, it is shorter and restricted on the way in which discussion takes place. Catrina is more than happy to accept questions throughout, and a parent carer will also be available to use the chat setting whilst training is taking place.

This workshop provides an insight into anxiety. Everybody experiences anxiety at various times in their lives. For our children, anxiety can be very distressing and can have a deep impact on their lives and ours. During this session we will look at how to recognise triggers for anxiety, why we experience anxiety and provide strategies to help.

This workshop will be delivered by a SEND professional and an experienced SEND parent carer.
