How to Reduce Stress as an ASN/SEN Parent
As a parent carer you will give huge amounts of love, care and attention to your child(ren). Your primary focus each day is likely navigating the best ways to support your child and fighting for their needs in different contexts.
However, when was the last time you treated yourself with kindness and compassion?
Creating an Online Mindfulness Course
Fast forward to now, I have created my first online self-paced mindfulness course! I designed this course especially for parents to children with Additional Support Needs/SEN.
A few months ago, I decided to offer my main services to neurodiverse families. I also offer in person yoga and mindfulness workshops to organisations in Edinburgh.
I have 15 years of experience working with children, teenagers and adults from different backgrounds within the voluntary sector. Many of them had diagnosed and undiagnosed Additional Support Needs, particularly being neurodivergent.
The Mindful Reconnect
Navigating accessing additional support for your child in school, through CAMHS (or waiting years on the waiting list), and other services they require can cause you to feel like you are exhausted and reaching burnout.
Which likely means you don’t have the time or energy to take care of your wellbeing.
