Bury's Neuro Hub for Families of Neurodivergent Children (Autism/ADHD) - Engagement Session with First Point Family Services

First Point Family Services are running Bury's new Neuro Hub. Their second parent/carer engagement session will take place on Tuesday 31st March at 10.00am. This will be an opportunity to meet with First Point and find out more about the Neuro Hub and help shape this service.

We encourage Bury parents/carers to attend - whether your child has an ADHD or autism diagnosis or not, and especially if your child is on the waiting list for an assessment. This will help you to understand what support will be available from the Neuro Hub for your family.
