  • Information Session: Neurodivergence and anxiety (27 March)

    • Do you have a child suffering with anxiety? 

      Come along and get information on 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.
