Communication – a neurodivergent conversation
If you identify as neurodivergent, have a neurodivergent partner, family member, or child, this workshop is designed to offer valuable insights and practical tools.
The workshop is led by experienced trainers who have been successfully using these communication tools in their personal lives for years, with one trainer bringing first-hand insight as an ADHD individual.
We’ll discuss tips and strategies for understanding and improving communication with the people in our lives.
Conflict Resolution
We’ll discuss tips and strategies for understanding where conflict can arise from, how neurodiversity may shape our relationship needs, tips on dealing with conflict and how to use solution focused conversations to help us improve our connections.
Living in a neurodiverse household can be challenging—we get it because we experience it firsthand. We’re here to share practical tips that can help make life a little easier.

Budget & Spending Less
This workshop is led by trainers who have been using these tools in their personal lives and have a background working with finance and supporting people with their money.
We’ll discuss what influences our relationship with money, you’ll learn that you are NOT alone and we’ll take a look at ways to plan a budget. We also have lots of hints and tips on how to check your budget to see if you can make any savings, and ways to reduce your energy bills.
You will also leave with a good idea about where to go for free and credible support if you need extra help.

Benefits & Maximising Income
This workshop is led by trainers who have been using these tools in their personal lives and have a background working with finance and supporting people with their money & benefits.
We’ll go through an overview of the benefits that may be available to you (especially as a parent carer, a carer, or a neurodivergent individual with additional needs or disabilities).
We will help you check that you’re getting the benefits you may be entitled to and give you some ideas of financial opportunities you might be missing (linked to being a parent/carer or your benefit entitlement).
