Healthy Communities Healthy Lives

Parent & Carer Workshop Series

Building inclusive family support through local council initiatives.

For Local councils ready to move from awareness to practical community inclusion.

This is a turnkey workshop designed for local government: to build staff capability, demonstrate community leadership, and create tangible support for neurodivergent residents without requiring specialist service commissioning.

This isn't a one-off awareness session. It's a practical activation that leaves council teams with immediate tools and a clear implementation pathway.

Manager & Business Owner Workshop Series

Maintain family-centered presence. Build personal and team systems that sustain your capacity to support neurodivergent children, teens and parents without absorbing their crisis or depleting your reserves.

Navigate complex systems. Develop practical strategies for effective advocacy across education, health, NDIS and disability systems—without the advocate becoming exhausted.

Extend career longevity. Create sustainable professional architectures that prevent the common burnout exit from neurodiversity family support work.
