Building confidence
and connection
Free online sessions for ADHD and autistic young people in years 7, 8 and 9 who experience school phobia or emotionally based school avoidance

What we do
As a neurodivergent team of parents, educators and wellbeing experts, we understand the unique challenges that neurodivergent young people face, and how distressing it can be seeing your child unhappy, anxious, or fearful about attending school.
That’s why we’re running a series of FREE online sessions over the next few weeks.

For safeguarding reasons, a caregiver must be present in the same room while their young person is participating.

There’s no pressure to be on camera and we use a range of communication techniques. There is no need to talk, or keep
cameras or microphones on if that is not comfortable for the individual.

All sessions are run by someone who is themselves ADHD or autistic, and the content is evidence-based and reviewed by mental health clinicians.
