Parent Support
Parent Support for Families of Matthew’s Hub Members
Raising a neurodivergent child can be deeply rewarding, but also challenging. Parents often find themselves feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to best support their child. At Matthew’s Hub, we understand that having a neurodivergent young person - whether autistic, with ADHD, or both - can impact the entire family.
But it doesn’t have to feel this way.
Our expert parents' neurodivergent team - whom are parents themselves - offer unique and personalised support to help families thrive. From workshops to one-to-one sessions, we’re here to guide you through understanding how a neurodiverse brain works and how to support your young person in achieving their full potential.
Autism & ADHD Awareness training
We recommend that all parents and carers of Matthew’s Hub members begin with our Autism and ADHD introductory training. This gives you the tools to better understand your child and how to support them effectively.
Free 4-Week workshop: Empowering inclusive listening
For parents and carers only.
This supportive workshop helps you build stronger connections with your neurodivergent child through inclusive communication and empathy.
Autism/ADHD Parent awareness within Transition workshop
Supporting Transitions at Every Stage.
Transitions - big or small - can be overwhelming for neurodivergent young people. This workshop helps parents better understand transitions and learn how to support their child through life’s changes, including moving from school to college, university, or employment.

‘Thank you for running the course. It was good to meet you all there. I liked chatting about our life experiences and sharing and supporting each other in a small but important way. Thank you for the time and effort put into the course content and for the resources. I was a good atmosphere and very meaningful.’
‘The workshop was great and I particularly liked the opportunities for parents to talk freely about their neurodivergent children. The handouts are also very useful as I tried to work through them during the program. It has been an enlightening experience.’
‘Was nice to meet with parents that are having similar experiences to us and also learn new ways to help us. To recognise when we are getting over stimulated by the kids and vis versa’
