Parent Workshop Testimonials

Emotional Regulation
  • Very engaging and insightful workshop

  • Such a helpful session, very sensitively and warmly put across
  • The session was very informative, I learned a lot of valuable information
  • These sessions are a lifeline for our family. When you live a life where you feel like you're on the outside of a circle, Drumbeat's service helps us feel we are supported and understood
Masking

Managing Anxiety
  • Workshop and delivery was great. Interacting with other parents was so helpful and encouraging

It's Different for Girls
  • Had an amazing experience. Felt able to be vulnerable and open without being judged
  • Interesting to hear other stories from other parents in a group that is structured. Good content and information
Supporting School Based Anxiety
  • Being a parent of an autistic child can feel isolating despite the support. Also increases my own anxiety levels. Being a part of the Drumbeat community eases that anxiety and gives me a comforting feeling of "home"

Preparing for Puberty
  • Fantastic workshop that had lots of useful information. The resources were an added bonus. I really enjoyed this and have taken away lots of suggestions that will be very useful

Preparing for Transition
  • Welcoming and inclusive atmosphere
