Aiming Higher parent drop ins.

Drop In sessions give parents time and space to explore the challenges they are facing, whether that be questions about diagnosis pathways and EHCP plans, or looking at family dynamics, routines and behaviours, we’re here to support.

Our Family Support Workers meet individually with parents in our private Counselling rooms, guiding them through whatever issues they bring, working together on ideas, sharing resources and information to help them to move forward more confidently.
