Parents living with neurodivergence who have school-age children may face unique challenges that can benefit from therapeutic help and coaching. These challenges can include navigating the complexities of the education system, advocating for their child's needs, and managing their own mental health while supporting their child's development. Therapy at NeuroHavens can provide strategies for effective communication with teachers and school staff, as well as tools for managing stress and anxiety. Coaching may focus on organisational skills, time management, and building routines that can complement both the parent's and child's neurodivergent traits. Additionally, support may be needed in understanding and processing the social and emotional aspects of parenting, such as dealing with stigma, fostering self-advocacy in their children, and building resilience as a family unit.

At NeuroHavens, we offer Parental Coaching as a professional service to help parents achieve their parenting goals. It can be beneficial for parents of all ages, genders, sexualities, and backgrounds. A parent coach can help with: 

Improving relationships: A parent coach can help parents improve their relationships with their children. 
Learning about child development: A parent coach can help parents learn about child development and neuroscience. 
Finding tools and strategies: A parent coach can help parents find tools and strategies to navigate triggers. 
Identifying strengths: A parent coach can help parents identify the strengths in their family. 
Developing a plan: A parent coach can help parents develop a plan to address any challenges they are facing. 
Connecting with support groups: A parent coach can connect parents with support groups or resources. 

Parent coaching can be in-person, online, or over the phone. The process is based on the idea that parents already have the ability to be great parents, but they may need help to recognise and develop their skills.
