Cothu Training
At the Mindful Hub
Cothu is a neuro-affirming parenting support program for parents and carers of Autistic Children and teens
Cothu is different - whilst most parenting courses will teach you how to 'manage' behaviours, meltdowns, sensitivities, anxiety, school refusal, and so on - these courses assume and teach you how to respond to a child that is already in crisis.
Wouldn't it be better to offer support a child that is not constantly in crisis?
Cothu offers parents a different view of their child, and a deep understanding of what it means to be autistic - because the course was designed by Autistic people, with Autistic insight and understanding.
Keith is currently mid-way through delivering the first run of this 5 week evening course, and will announce the next dates shortly.
About the Course
This is a 5 week course (1x 2hr session per week) for parents or carers to be held in person in a calm, and safe space at The Mindful Hub in Haltwhistle.
The aim is to help you understand your child from an Autistic perspective, deepen your connection, and improve your whole family's wellbeing.
You will have the opportunity to connect with other parents and carers that are in similar situations, share experiences, and learn from each other in a respectful, non-judgemental way.
You can be at any stage in your child's journey to join this course. A diagnosis of autism or referral to the pathway either via the NHS or privately is not required.
This course is for adults, it is not for adults to attend with their children or siblings.
Although these courses normally come with a fee, Keith is offering to run the first course (all five weeks) free of charge. There will be a break in each session, and drinks and snacks will be available to purchase during the breaks - your support would be appreciated.
