These Participation Events are designed to give Mental health professionals and SEND parents carers the chance to work together to improve support for SEND children and young people.
Topics for this Mental Health participation session will be:
Neurodiversity & Gender Identity – Kite Trust will be with us explaining how they support many young people and their families and how they can support yours too!
Spectrum Gaming – Andy will be introducing Spectrum Gaming, an online community for autistic young people. The aims of Spectrum Gaming are to enable autistic young people to connect with others and improve mental health and wellbeing.
Feedback opportunity – Juliet from Taproot is with us to make sure your voices are heard when it comes to the support needs of your teenagers and young people. Help develop the Mental Health services for Learning Disability and Autism in a safe space.
Discussion -We will be hearing about what support is already available, and time for discussion about what works well and what else may be needed to ensure our childs SEND needs are met.
