NEW VIDEOS: SUPPORTING NEURODIVERGENT PARENTS TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN

Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT), Warwickshire Parent Carer Voice and Coventry Parent Voice have been working together to create a series of videos for our local community.

The theme is ‘How neurodivergent parent carers experience services when supporting their child and how to support them’.

The aim of these videos is to:

• Improve knowledge, awareness and acceptance of neurodivergence in adulthood
• Increase awareness of the experience of neurodivergent parent carers when accessing support for their children
• Improve the relationships between neurodivergent parent carers and professionals
• Create a resource that can support professionals to improve the experience of local neurodivergent parent carers when accessing support for their children

The series consists of four videos which can be watched together or individually:

• Chapter one - What neurodivergence looks like (delivered by parent carers)
• Chapter two - What do we know from the research in terms of the experience of neurodivergent parent carers? (delivered by CWPT)
• Chapter three - How do neurodivergent parent carers experience services when supporting their children in Coventry and Warwickshire (local insights from CWPT)
• Chapter four - What support can be helpful and why it is beneficial to everyone (delivered by parent carers)
