CYGNET Parenting Support Programme

A free course for parents of children and young people with Autism

A parenting support programme for parents and carers of autistic children and young people aged 5-18.

Parents of autistic children face the usual positive and difficult challenges of parenting and quite a few more. Attending Cygnet gives parents and carers an opportunity to develop their understanding of autism and look at practical solutions to support their child.

It also provides the opportunity to meet other people in a similar position and hear about their experiences in an informal but supportive atmosphere.

This FREE course is run by Aireborough Family Services at our office in Albion House. To find out more, please contact Karen Coburn.
