Parents and Carers: Neuro-inclusive Listening Through Communication and Connection

Matthew's Hub is a Hull-based charity supporting autistic adults and young people, and those with ADHD. One of our aims is to raise awareness of how best to support neurodivergent individuals and we do this through training and workshops. This four-week workshop is designed and delivered by our Parent Coach, Tamsin.
