When children with ADHD, autism, sensory differences, and other neurodivergent traits struggle with big emotions or challenging behavior, adults can feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to help. In this workshop, you’ll learn about strengths-based, relationship-centered approaches to responding in ways that help children feel safe, seen, and supported. Led by MSW interns from Soul Friends, this two-part workshop series offers practical tools and empowering language to better support both you and your child.

Session 1, on Thursday, May 14th from 6:30pm-8pm, focuses on understanding neurodivergent traits and experiences through an affirming lens. We’ll introduce frameworks and shared perspectives that help adults make sense of what they’re seeing and feel more connected to their child across the different contexts of their lives.

Session 2, on Thursday, May 21st from 6:30pm-8pm, focuses on applying those insights in everyday interactions. Participants will learn how to use emotional and behavioral observations to respond in ways that strengthen connection, support co-regulation, and communicate more effectively with their child. Session 2 can be attended on its own or as a second part to Session 1.

Children in 2nd grade and older are welcome. During the workshop, they’ll have their own activity space where they can enjoy arts and crafts with members of the Soul Friends community and a Soul Friends therapy animal.
