TIME OUT FOR PARENTS 6-week Support Programmes for those caring for an autistic child or child with ADHD. Both courses provide an opportunity for you to support and encourage others, helping you share feelings and experiences, and come up with solutions to problems on the basis of what works – not what’s meant to work! Time Out courses are very informal and provide plenty of time for you to talk to other parent carers. Choose from the ASD or ADHD course, the courses both start on the same week then run on alternate weeks there after, until the final week when we meet together. The Chaucer Room, Ipswich County Library Starting Wednesday 11th January 9.45-11.45am
The National Sleep Helpline - 03303 530 541
This free resource can help parents and children to learn more about their sleep and develop better bedtime routines. Sleep is essential to brain function, by helping children to sleep better, we can help them to succeed in school.
At any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep. Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues. Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely.
Our free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND. We can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues).
The helpline is open 5 times a week, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Wednesday mornings 9-11am. The number is 03303 530 541.
