  • Information session: Anxiety in neurodivergent children (13 Nov)

    • Do you want to know how anxiety can affect children and young people who are neurodivergent? We will explain how anxiety can present itself and why this may be happening. We will introduce and discuss strategies and tools that you may find useful to help reduce anxiety, and help you understand how your child may be feeling at home, at school and in social situations. There will be plenty of time for discussion and peer support.

      Please note: This session is not suitable for children. No diagnosis required. You must be a member of Sheffield Parent Carer Forum to attend – register here. Booking essential.
