This two-day experiential parent workshop aims to support the emotional needs of parents and autistic children. This is often overlooked or not specifically supported within other types of traditional parent training programmes.
Parents will learn how to become ‘emotion coaches’ for their autistic child while given space to reflect and process their own emotional experiences of their parenting journeys so far.
Over the two-days, parents will learn about emotion theory, participate in creative and reflective experiential tasks and the steps of ‘emotion coaching’. The underpinning values and ethos of this newly developed HEART parent workshop embraces the autistic child’s neurodivergence, and promotes the need to move away from negative, pathologizing views about autism.
Parents who have participated in HEART have described the workshop as ‘emotionally moving’ and ‘powerful and empowering’.
