SUMMARY:Coffee Morning with Bristol Parent Carers | South Bristol
DESCRIPTION:South Bristol Coffee Morning with Bristol Parent Carers\n\n\nWe’re delighted to host our friendly\, monthly Coffee Mornings in South Bristol — a welcoming\, relaxed space for parent carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to connect\, unwind and feel supported. \nWhether you’re looking for a moment of calm\, and hoping to meet others who truly get it\, you’ll be met with warmth\, understanding and a community that’s here for you. \nAlthough the atmosphere is relaxed and informal\, we do ask that families book a free place via Eventbrite so we can manage numbers and make sure the space is comfortable for everyone. We also know that life as a SEND parent or carer can be unpredictable — if you book and then can’t make it\, please don’t worry. You’re always welcome to join us next time. \nAt each session\, our reps and other local families will be on hand for supportive conversation\, whether you’d like to chat about challenges\, share experiences\, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with others who understand. \nYou’ll often also find other local services joining us\, offering everything from carer support advice to information about events and opportunities in the area.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity without a diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Navigating supporting your neurodivergent child without a diagnosis\n\n\nWelcome to Neurodiversity without a diagnosis. Join Bristol Parent Carers and Paul Ford on 28th September at 7pm. Many children experience differences in the way they think\, communicate\, learn and respond to the world around them\, but not every child has a diagnosis. Some families may be waiting for an assessment\, while others may simply recognise that their child experiences the world differently. This practical and supportive session is for parents and carers of children who may be autistic\, have ADHD\, or present with other neurodivergent differences\, regardless of whether they have a diagnosis. \nThis session will be recorded so we can share it with other families afterwards\, and so you can revisit it yourself at a later date. Recordings are securely stored and will be available for 60 days.In this session we will cover: \n\nLearn why a diagnosis can be helpful\, but why understanding your child’s needs is even more important\nUnderstand common characteristics of autism\, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergent needs\, and how these may present differently from one child to another\nDevelop and understanding of sensory differences\, communication styles and executive functioning which can influence behaviour\, emotions and everyday life\nLearn practical strategies to reduce stress\, support emotional regulation and build on your child’s strengths\nFind ways to work positively with schools and other professionals\, even before a diagnosis is in place.\n\nWhether your child is on a waiting list for assessment\, has recently been referred\, or you simply recognise traits of neurodivergence and are looking for a better understanding\, this session aims to provide reassurance\, practical ideas and greater confidence in supporting your child.There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout the session\, making it relevant to your own family’s experiences. \nPlaces are free\, but if you’re able to make a small donation to help us continue offering free sessions to as many families as possible\, we’d be incredibly grateful.*Please note\, to attend this session for free you must live in Bristol (your bin will be collected by Bristol City Council)\, or your child must attend a school in the Bristol city area. You must also have a child with Special Educational Needs\, but they do not need to have a diagnosis.
