Beyond Behaviour: Understanding Distress & Hormones

Educational Parent/Carer Webinar Workshop

Emotional well-being, distress behaviour and self-care tasks like eating and sleeping all tend to be at the top of concerns that we have for our young people. And to be honest, for ourselves as well. While we often see and address these areas as separate, this webinar will have us learn how they are all inter-connected via the stress response system. We’ll be taking a bit of a deep dive into the nervous system and stress hormones. Think Mrs. Frizzle and the Magic School Bus shrunk down and following what happens when someone’s stress response system is activated. Come along […]

Supporting Your Young Person in Distress & Reframing Challenging Behaviour

Educational Parent/Carer Webinar Workshop

This workshop will first look at challenging behaviours and reframe these to distress behaviours. From there, we can clarify why these distress behaviours are happening and review examples of each. Importantly, we will learn the foundations of boundary setting that work best for neurodivergent young people. While doing this, we will start thinking about traditional parenting advice and how we might need to rethink consequences in order to build a young person’s sense of safety, trust and overall well-being. Each in-person course will have a max of 15 attendees and will be in a Workshop format. The course will run […]

Some West Yorkshire CANN Organisations

Family Fund.

Family Fund provides grants to families raising disabled and seriously ill children aged 17 and under. Our grants support a family, improve their well-being, increase quality of life and ease many of the pressures they often face. We are a registered charity and the UK’s largest provider of grants to families living on low incomes who are raising disabled or seriously ill children. Our grants bring practical and essential help that is often a lifeline to a family such as washing machines, fridges, bedding, specialist toys and much-need family breaks. With limited funding we try to help as many families as we can. We use our own eligibility criteria to ensure that we only help families in the most need.  We will consider helping a family once every 12 months and will usually look at a grant application 12 months from the date of the last grant. Depending on what a family have asked for, we will award a grant in a number of different ways. We work in partnership with a range of providers who help us to make our funding go further and help us to evidence that the grant awarded is used for the purpose it is […]
