Training Packages


We have recently launched a training programme "Empowering Ourselves To Be Heard". As well as professionals, Adults with ADHD and / or autism, and carers of children and adults, have taken part in this project to enable them to deliver training, with support within the community. There are various training options available, please contact Therese or Lynne on or for more information.



Support Groups


Drop in support sessions are held in Cedars Hall on a Wednesday and Friday from 10.30am till 12.30pm term time only.


Everybody is welcome, with or without a formal diagnosis of ADHD, ASD or Asperger Syndrome. The session offers a chance to meet other parents in a similar situation. There are family support workers available to discuss any support and help needed in a confidential environment. This could be a good place to start if you’re new to ADHD or ASD, want to find out what our centre offers, or if you just want to talk to someone who understands.


Crèche available. The crèche is free, however donations are welcome.


A drop in evening session will be held on the third Monday of every month from 7.00pm till 9.00pm. These follow the same format as the morning sessions but are aimed at those people who cannot access the daytime support groups for whatever reason.


Upcoming dates for the year are: 16th February, 16th March, 29th April, 18th May, 15th June, 20th July, 17th August, 21st September, 19th October, 16th November and 21st December.



Counselling


We can refer families to a free counselling service for families accessing our centre. The objective is to take a focused approach that would deal with issues that arise within families and take a holistic view, through counselling, to prevent family breakdown and stress related ill health. It offers family centred counselling for family members who care for a person with ADHD and/or ASD.
