Are you a parent or caregiver of a child with autism?
Would you like to cope better, feel more in control of your emotions and be more resilient?
It is important for parents to stay connected, even more so during this time of social isolation. We have partnered with Hofstra University to offer a free online Hope Programme, a 6-week group self-management programme for parents and caregivers of children with autism to help you cope with life during lockdown - to feel more in control and more resilient. This is part of a research study.
Each week the course covers topics like: • managing stress • smarter goal setting • gratitude • character strengths • physical activity • eating well • coping with fatigue • practicing mindfulness • communication and relationships
The course includes quizzes, worksheets, audio and video materials, interactive activities and social networking via email and forums. Participants are supported throughout by trained facilitators. Weekly Zoom meetings will also bring the group together at set times.
The course can be accessed from PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. It takes upto 2 hours to complete each weekly session, which you can complete at any time which is convenient for you.
Over 500 parents have already benefited from the programme and many found the course helped them to feel better with their child’s diagnosis and family life.
If you’re interested or want to find out more about the program sign-up now.
