Our popular Teens and Beyond online workshop is back! ✨👏

If you are raising a young person aged 13+ with disability, you may be thinking about school pathways, life after school, puberty, friendships and growing independence.

You might also be feeling unsure, stretched or just wanting some reassurance that you are doing the right things.

Teens and Beyond is our much‑loved three‑part online workshop, starting in early May. It is designed to support you as well as give you clear, practical information to support your teen.

Parents tell us the workshop helps them feel more confident, better prepared and less alone during a big stage of change.

You will learn about
🔹 Financial support and planning ahead
🔹 School and post‑school pathways
🔹 Wellbeing, including friendships, communication, behaviour support and mental health
