Below are a series of events occurring in the next few months which we would like to highlight for families and professionals interested in SEND provision in Education.
Uncommon Well-Being Programmes
Uncommon is a neurodivergent-led organisation that supports the mental health and well-being of neurodivergent young people.
They are currently running a series of 3-week online well-being programmes for neurodivergent young people in years 7-9 who experience school avoidance. The sessions cover topics like building confidence, managing anxiety, and feeling positive about friendships. These programmes are informal, relaxed and relatable.
Run by experienced neurodivergent facilitators, each session also has a neurodivergent university student that participants can talk to. They're all designed to be low demand - young people can choose how they take part, whether that's cameras on or off, interacting or just watching. Uncommon’s services are clinically supervised and their session materials are clinically reviewed. The programme has received great feedback, and young people who often struggle to make it into school are asking for more sessions.
