There has been a real focus on support for neurodivergence and SEND in recent years, as waiting times increase and demand for support increases families are feeling stressed and anxious. ✨
At Neurodiversity Sheffield early support is offered for families whose children or young people show behaviours indicative of neurodivergent conditions prior to diagnosis. 💛
It is recognised that there are often coexisting conditions that require support, and the drop-in cafés offer the chance for parents and carers to receive support and information — including educational, practical and emotional — from the team and professional partners, including but not limited to:
• 🧠 Nurses from Ryegate
• 💬 CAMHS primary mental health team
• 🏡 Sheffield Family Hubs
• 👨👩👧 Parenting Hubs
• 🤝 Parent Carer Forum
… and more.
These drop-in cafés also provide parents and carers with the opportunity to meet each other, share experiences, learn from and support one another, and feel less alone. ☕💬
No diagnosis is required to attend drop-in cafés.
