Parent Carer - Connect and Reflect Day

Are you a parent or carer in a supporting role for a person with learning disabilities and/or neurodivergence?

Do you want to unwind and connect with other parent/carers who truly get it?

Join us for a relaxed, in-person connect and reflect day to recharge and explore parenting in an ableist society. We will bring together psychological practices and lived experiences to focus on acceptance and self-compassion in a welcoming environment.

There is a suggested donation of £15, but if money is a barrier, please do get in touch with us.

This is an opportunity to explore parenting in an ableist society, and what it means to

build emotionally secure, connected relationships with our children by accepting and

valuing them for who they are. It will be a chance to reconnect with yourself and your

inner wisdom and be together in community. Our focus

is on valuing our children for who they are and not who they are not or who they

‘should’ be, and resisting invitations to be ‘normal’. The day brings

together psychological practice and lived experience. It will have a focus on going

deeper into our own needs to develop self-compassion practices. There will be

invitations to join yoga and craft sessions as part of this. Lunch will be provided.
