Support Groups

Our groups are relaxed, safe places to meet and connect with SPACE staff and other parent/carers navigating the SEND world. Together we celebrate the highs and support each other through more challenging times. Everyone is welcome. No diagnosis necessary.

We would love to welcome you to our in-person monthly support group in St Albans!We are also pleased to have our Lending SPACE team coming with lots of equipment ready to borrow!Our support group is open to all parents/carers/families who are raising children and young people with neurodiverse conditions including autism and ADHD.Your child/young person does not need a diagnosis in order for you to access our groups, and the support group is FREE to attend.Booking is not essential but if you do book a place via Eventbrite it helps us to anticipate numbers.This month we are joined by two guest speakers! We are pleased to welcome Liz Stanley back to the group, who will help us understand more about social communication and interaction and how it manifests in autism and ADHD. The session will also cover friendships and look at some ways to support neurodivergent young people in these areas. Then Herts Parent Carers Involvement (HPCI) will do a short presentation to help you understand more about the recent SEND white paper and reform proposals and how you can get involved in local consultations.SPACE staff, Mel and Suzie will be ready and waiting to welcome you. We are a friendly, knowledgeable and supportive team, and the SPACE staff are all SEN parents ourselves, so we really do understand the high's and lows of raising children with neuro-developmental differences.Teas, coffees and biscuits are all provided!**Please note - we cannot accommodate children at this support group.
