Overview
A single workshop delivered online via Zoom by specialist parenting practitioner Denise Challis and Helpline Manager Charlie Taylor.
The workshop is suitable for parents/carers who have previously attended ADHD training, for example PSC’s ADHD Course or ADHD Pre and Post Assessment workshop series. This is because the facilitators won’t have time to go over topics previously covered. Please bear this in mind if you want to attend without any previous ADHD training.
The workshop is funded by East Berkshire NHS and commissioned by GEMS Autism and ADHD Support Service East Berkshire. Your booking information will be provided to GEMS as the commissioner of the workshop.
GEMS provide a range of workshops and support for families. For further details please check their website here: GEMS
