“If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ASN journey, you’re not the only one.”

Every week, more families are speaking out. More teachers are waving the red flag. And more young people are quietly struggling while the system around them buckles.

Behind every number is a child who’s trying their best.
A parent who’s exhausted.
A teacher who’s stretched to breaking point.
A family who feels like they’re shouting into the wind.

Leaders are calling it an “explosion” in need — but for families, it feels like being left to cope alone.

💛 KO‑NEKT was created for exactly these moments.

When the waiting list is too long.
When the diagnosis is years away.
When your child is overwhelmed, anxious, masking, melting, or just needing someone who gets it.
When you’re tired of being told to “wait and see”.

✨ With us, you don’t need a diagnosis.
✨ You don’t need to fight for a place.
✨ You don’t need to prove anything.

For the child and young person: we offer 1:1 support and small groups where young people are seen, understood, and accepted exactly as they are.

For parents and carers: we also offer a Nurturing Group — a safe, welcoming space where you can come along, connect with others, and receive support.

If your young person is struggling — or if you are — you’re not alone.

KO‑NEKT is here, ready to walk beside you, one step at a time. 💛

💬 Quick reminder: we’re a Communication Friendly Awarded organisation! 💬

That means we do things differently — and better — for young people.
We take time to listen, use clear and simple language, and make sure everyone has a chance to express themselves in a way that feels comfortable for them.

For young people, this helps build confidence, reduces pressure, and makes sure they feel heard, understood, and supported 💙

Because communication should never be a barrier.
