About this event
Recognise, respond to and reduce the impact of anger in your family
Does your child’s anger leave you feeling unsure how to respond?
Are you struggling to help your child manage big emotions?
Worried that anger is becoming the main way your family communicates?
Children with ASD and/or ADHD often struggle to manage anger, and behaviours like aggression can be especially challenging.
For many parents, neurodiversity can blur the boundaries of what’s acceptable, making confident responses harder.
It’s also common to worry about the impact on siblings and long-term family relationships.
That’s why we’ve created this practical online workshop, based on our CAN Parent accredited course “Anger: Escaping the Trap.”
🎥If you can't attend the live event then you will receive access to a recording; We don't want you to miss out! 🎦
We offer more than just anger management strategies — we help you truly understand what’s happening for your child and what you can do to support them.
Led by experienced facilitators, counsellors, and parenting practitioners, this workshop will help you:
- Understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger
- Recognise the early, non-verbal signs of anger
- Identify your own and your child’s triggers
- Use practical techniques to de-escalate anger and aggression safely
- Respond effectively during meltdowns, protecting everyone involved
- Find further help and ongoing support
