What we offer
The Changing Lives Initiative: Flourish & Thrive offers early supports to parents* of children who may be neurodivergent and experience the world in their own unique way— including those with or without a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, or other neurodevelopmental differences.
We offer a range of interventions to parents including workshops, short programmes, on-line supports and longer evidence-based parent programmes. When you register an interest, our team will match you with the most suitable interventions to meet your needs.
Who can access our supports?
Our supports are open to all parents in the project area who think their family might benefit from our supports. No diagnosis is required to access our supports. Parents can sign up themselves, or any practitioner (such as GP, teacher, family support) can link parents in with the project. Simply scan the QR code on the back of this leaflet to fill out our Expression of Interest form.
What age group do we provide supports for?
Most of our parent programmes cater for parents of children up to 12 years. Our workshops and other interventions are open to parents with children of any age.
Why take part in Parent Programmes?
Parent programmes for ADHD, Autism or other neurodevelopmental differences are evidenced to provide numerous benefits, including improved behaviour management, enhanced communication, stronger emotional regulation, better social skills and increased self-esteem in children.
Parents who’ve taken part in our programmes have told us they:
- Understand their child’s needs and strengths more clearly
- Feel more confident and calm in their parenting
- Have better communication with their child
- Experience fewer challenges at home
- Feel less alone and more supported
Many say family life feels calmer, more connected, and less stressful.
Is there a charge?
All our services are free of charge to families. Our project is funded by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB)
*While we use the term parent/s, our supports are open to all care givers, including Grandparents, foster parents and other carers.
