Neurodiversity Carers Connect (Online)

Neurodiversity Carers Connect is an 8-session In-Person Peer Support program facilitated by peers and mentors with lived experience of both neurodivergence and caring. These sessions will be held online, so join from the comfort of your own home!

The program is designed as an opportunity for you to meet other parents and carers, make new connections and learn about a strength-based approach to caring for, or with, Autism, ADHD and other developmental, learning and sensory differences.

The program enables families to connect with peers in a supportive neuro-friendly environment, build positive neurodivergent identity, and learn how to support wellbeing and harmony at home. The groups are co-designed with carers, so many topics or activities will be determined by you and the other carers in your group. These sessions will also include special guest speakers, information sessions and opportunities for Q&A sessions with service providers.

Topics could include;

• common difficulties within neurodiverse families
• strategies and resources recommended by those with lived experience of neurodivergence
• understanding differences in neurodivergent brains and behaviour
• nervous system regulation strategies
• self-care for neurodivergent people and their carers
• advocating at school

Sessions will be held weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30pm - 8pm AEDT from 11th February to 1st April, 2026. Carers are encouraged to attend all sessions to get the most out of the experience. Please contact us to express your interest if these times are not suitable for you.
