Support Programme for Parents and Carers of Neurodivergent groups, including ASD, Asperger's, ADHD, and Dyslexia. in richmond
At CDARS, we recognise a significant gap in support for Neurodivergent groups and their family members. Therefore, our service aims to fill that gap as much as possible. The support group that we run aims to support family members and carers of Neurodivergent groups, including those with ASD, Asperger's, ADHD, and Dyslexia.
The support group aims to offer
- Emotional Support: Offer a safe and understanding space for members to express their feelings, share their experiences, and receive empathy from others in similar situations.
- Education and Awareness: Help families better understand neurodivergence (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia), including the strengths and challenges associated with it.
- Skill Building: Offer strategies for effective communication, behaviour support, advocacy, and self-care for caregivers.
- Resource Sharing: Connect members with helpful resources such as therapists. Educational supports. Legal rights. And financial assistance.
- Advocacy: Empower family members to advocate for their loved ones in schools. Healthcare systems. And the community.
- Community Building: Reduce isolation by fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support among members.
- Problem-Solving: Provide a collaborative environment for discussing challenges and brainstorming solutions based on collective experience.
All our services follow our Values and Ethos
- Client-centred
- Inclusive
- Respectful
- Non-judgmental
- Confidential
If you are a family member of someone who is Neurodivergent, you do not have to suffer alone; you are highly welcome to attend this group
