A day in the life of a parent carer.

This warm and reflective session gives parent carers an opportunity to explore what a typical day can really involve—for both themselves and their child or young person. Together, we will consider the visible and less visible parts of daily family life, including routines, transitions, sensory needs, emotional regulation, appointments, advocating, disrupted sleep and the constant planning that often happens behind the scenes.

The session offers a supportive space for parent carers to recognise the demands they manage, share experiences if they wish, and reflect on what might make everyday life feel more manageable. There is no expectation to disclose personal information, and every family’s experience is recognised as different.
