“Managing Anger” Parent Seminar

July 20, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm

| Free

This workshop is for parents/carers of an autistic child who is experiencing difficulties with managing their emotions, which can result in difficulties with anger, anxiety, distressed behaviours and meltdowns.

The aim of the seminar is to support families with managing distressed behaviours and potential meltdowns. The seminar is called “Managing Anger” as this is the term that many parents use when referring to their child’s distressed behaviour.

Our trainers, Greater Manchester Autism Consortium (GMAC) use the term ‘anger’ throughout the seminar but it is important to recognise that autistic children may display a range of distressed behaviours linked to anxiety, confusion or frustration, much of which is displayed in a way that appears very much like anger. We have chosen to use the term ‘anger’ throughout to encompass many of these issues.

The workshop will cover:

  • What is anger?
  • What is a low arousal approach?
  • Coping with meltdowns
  • Helping your child to manage their feelings

This is a free workshop for parents/carers of autistic children and young people, or those who are currently undergoing assessment through the Social Communication Pathway (SCP).

Refreshments (tea, coffee and biscuits) will be available throughout the session and we will serve light lunch midway through the workshop.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
