NEW from the Parentline NI Podcast 🎤😁📣 In this special episode, Kerry chats to three of the Parentline NI team - Kathy, Roisin and Julie. This episode focuses on the core ethos of the Parentline service. Full episode: https://lnkd.in/gV_234mp They discuss the importance of connection with callers, and the teams' aim to provide a listening ear, and non judgmental support to parents and carers. Callers can use the service for any stage of parenting, from babies and toddlers, teenagers and even older children - we never stop being parents. They discuss issues that come up from parents and carers - mental health, neurodiversity, separation anxiety, school avoidance and emotional dysregulation. Parentline will close for Christmas break on Friday 20th December at 5pm and re open on Thursday 2nd January at 9am.

Autistic Women and Girls - Training at CiNI For years, Autism research and diagnostic criteria have been predominantly shaped by studies focused on boys and men, often overlooking the subtle yet impactful ways Autism manifests in females. As a result, many autistic women and girls face delayed recognition, late diagnosis, or even misdiagnosis. This training is designed to bridge that gap by increasing awareness, breaking stereotypes, and equipping attendees with the knowledge and tools to better understand and support this population. This workshop is perfect for professionals, parents, and anyone keen to deepen their understanding of Autism through a lens of inclusion and celebration. Join us to create a more understanding, supportive, and accepting world for autistic women and girls. Book here: https://lnkd.in/e_irZa_D
