Male Parent Carers...are you caring for someone you love? Balancing your own needs with their support can be tough. Take a breath and join us for a special event focusing on your wellbeing🐟🍟

Why just for men? While all carers face challenges, research shows men often report feeling less comfortable seeking help. It is important to provide a safe space to connect with other male carers, share experiences, connect with resources & access support.

🙋‍♂️Spread the word and share with your fellow male carers!

Feel free to drop in 😊

Remember: While this event focuses on male carers, we believe in supporting all caregiving communities.

If you identify as a female carer and are interested in similar resources, please reach out to us directly! admin@nspcwt.org

NSPCWT would like to invite parent carers to a fully funded training session with Catrina Lowri for training on PDA. This is part of our autism and neurodivergent training that we originally worked alongside Bristol and South Gloucestershire parent carer forums.

Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a profile that describes those whose main characteristic is to avoid everyday demands and expectations to an extreme extent. It is usually a personality trait associated with Autism.

Join us for training to find out what this profile means and how it can present, and how to support your child or young person.

Catrina has ample experience teaching about neurodivergent conditions, and is prepared for all questions asked.

North Somerset Parent Carers Working Together are incredibly excited to extend our training offer with more diverse topics to benefit you and your families.
