Parents & Carers Groups · West Yorkshire
You don't have to navigate this alone. A quiet, safe space to talk with others who truly understand.
Find a session near youThere are school meetings where behaviour gets discussed but understanding gets missed. There is the exhaustion of chasing support, translating your child to professionals, and trying to stay regulated yourself while everyone else seems to expect that part to happen automatically.
There is also the quieter part: what it does to you. The exhaustion. The anger. The guilt. The feeling that you are expected to keep everything moving while carrying far more than anyone else can see.
This group exists for that full conversation. Not a performance of coping. A room where you do not have to dilute what you mean so other people stay comfortable.
Small, steady, structured, and honest.
Many parents in this group are neurodivergent themselves. If that is true for you, you belong here too.
Max 10 people - never overwhelming or rushed.
What's shared in the room stays in the room.
Your child doesn't need a formal diagnosis for you to be welcome here.
People who've been through it - not professionals with a checklist.
Covers room hire, a proper brew or two + biscuits. Block bookings available.
Sessions run on selected dates. Places are limited - booking essential.
After three sessions, active members are invited into a private WhatsApp group with people they have already met in person. That timing matters. By then the room is familiar. The names are familiar. The trust has started to form.
The WhatsApp group is for active members only. If you stop attending, you may be removed so members' privacy and personal data stay protected.
From time to time we run optional guest sessions alongside the regular group. That might mean a SENCO specialist, an EHCP advisor, a registered mental health professional, or someone offering practical nervous-system support. Everything is clearly signposted in advance - nobody is pushed into anything that does not feel right for them.
Sessions run in Mirfield and Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Full venue address included with your booking confirmation.
Mirfield runs both a daytime (Thursday) and an evening (Tuesday) session - choose whichever works for your life right now.
If coming alone feels daunting, tell us. We can have a friendly face meet you outside so that first arrival feels less intimidating.
