Description

The Strength-Based Parenting (SBP) is a programme designed to support parent carers of neurodivergent children aged 4 to 11 years. Children do not need a formal diagnosis for parent carers to attend.

The programme has been developed by members of the Southend-on-Sea City Council Supporting Families Team.

Perhaps your child has been referred to the Lighthouse for an assessment, or maybe they have already received a diagnosis? Either way, the course will help you to understand your child's varied and complex behaviours and the best ways to respond to them.

Main topics covered include:

  • attachment
  • significant life events (trauma)
  • communication
  • anxiety

In week 1 you will help compile a list of things you'd like to know more about and we will do our best to cover these topics.

Session information

Workshops are held at Southend Civic Centre on Wednesday mornings for 5 weeks. Contact the team for course dates.
