I attended my first CTS coffee morning this week and it was so nice being in a space where I felt comfortable enough to share. The morning was led by Tracy and she did it in such a way that it felt really relaxed, it felt like we, as parents, could talk and be heard rather than just being talked at. I felt we were able to be quite open with each other about our experiences and also able to ask questions without being judged. It was refreshing to be in a group with a professional leading the discussion but not making you feel like they are the professional/expert and you are not, I felt everyone was taken at face value and any contribution made to the group was valid, including myself/my own. I really enjoyed it and came away feeling so much more positive. I’ll definitely be attending more coffee mornings and events. More...

I went to a demand avoidance workshop on the 9th which was so informative whilst being relaxed. The team were brilliant, questions answered fantastically and there wasn't a stupid question. Also there was no judgement at all. It was great knowing that I'm not a crazy person these struggles not only are real but can be combated and tools and stragies were provided. I'd recommend to anyone who needs more information, support or questions being answered as these things are hard to find. As an asd and adhd mummy we all know we have to advocate for our children more than most I will be booking family members onto the next one so we can all be on the same page. More...

I attended the Practitioner Workshop: Positive Well being in Young Children on Friday evening. It was a really informative and enjoyable 2 hours of information and training. It related very well to the young age group that I teach at nursery and we are hoping to implement some of the ideas into our daily practise such as yoga for nursery age children.It was thought provoking and really made me think more deeply about how we can help children, from a young age, learn to manage their own emotional well-being.

I attended the Demand Avoidance course last night. It was an excellent workshop and I learnt so much. Tracy is an excellent presenter, who is obviously very knowledgable and experienced, and I felt very at ease to ask any questions I had. It was really reassuring to hear the experiences of other parents. I came away better informed and with lots of techniques to try, plus an excellent set of resources to use. Thank you very much Tracy. More...

I attended a Managing Demand Avoidance workshop and was anxious about attending. I soon realised that I had no need to feel worried as it was such a warm, welcoming environment and led by Tracy who had personal and professional experience of the subject. I am glad I went, relieved I’m not imagining the issues and not feeling as alone as I did, having heard everyone’s experiences. I wish there’d been more time at the workshop! More...
