Group coaching for parents & carers
Our Parent and Carers Group Coaching Courses brings together a small group of parents and carers who look after an autistic child or young person.
The course offers a confidential and safe space to have constructive discussions which are themed around a topic and provide an opportunity to think, reflect and plan in a supportive group environment.
Group coaching has the extra benefit of bringing people in similar situations together, enabling them to relate to each other and learn from each other.
We currently offer two courses, a six week course which is suitable for parents and carers of children of any age, and a five week parenting teens course which is specifically aimed at parents/carers of teenagers and young adults.
The six week course is £350 and the five week course is £300, with the option to pay in installments. We also have some spaces available at a discounted rate for those on a low income - contact us to find out more.
