SCP Autism and Well-being Post-Diagnostic Workshop for Parents/Carers (Secondary)

February 1 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

| Free

This session is aimed at parents/carers of SECONDARY school-aged children.

The information will be delivered through a PowerPoint presentation, in addition to some small group work which will provide opportunities for discussing examples.

We do encourage you to ask questions as these sessions are to enable you to gain knowledge about available support and resources.

This session will include:

  • Considering what Autism means to your child and family.
  • We will consider What is Autism, considering strengths and positives whilst also considering myths and viewing the world through an Autism lens.
  • Signposting to available services to promote well-being.

Biscuits, tea and coffee will be provided. However, lunch isn’t provided so please make sure to bring your own food for the lunch break.

If you need an interpreter to access the session, please email mft.scppostdiagnosticworkshops@nhs.net with at least a week’s notice before the session. Each session can only cater for one interpreter so please contact the SCP team ASAP if you require one.

The group will be held at the Moss Side Millennium Powerhouse: 140 Raby St, Moss Side, Manchester M14 4SL

Any queries about this session can be directed to: mft.scppostdiagnosticworkshops@nhs.net

Booking is essential. This is a parent-only session so please do not bring children to the workshop.

As a post-diagnostic workshop, this session is offered to parents and carers of children or young people who have received a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT).

This can be from any of the three Social Communication Pathway (SCP) teams – South Manchester (Carol Kendrick Centre), Central Manchester (The Powerhouse/ Winnicott Centre), and North Manchester (The Powerhouse/The Bridge).

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.
