2026 09 18 Online (day): Speaking Up at School: Communication with Education Staff
Working with schools can sometimes feel daunting, especially when you’re trying to make sure your young person’s needs are understood and supported. This time together will focus on preparing yourself for productive communication with teachers and staff. We’ll explore how to get ready for meetings so you feel confident, what information is most useful to share, and ideas on how to express concerns when you are possibly feeling under-supported. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to practical tools such as a meeting preparation checklist and ready-to-use communication templates to help you structure emails and conversations with staff. We’ll also look at strategies for keeping communication ongoing and finding approaches that work for your family and your young person.

2026 10 07 In Person: Supporting Your Young Person in Distress & Reframing Challenging Behaviour
When a young person shows what we often call “challenging behaviour,” it is usually a signal of distress rather than defiance. This webinar will begin by reframing challenging behaviour as communication (the signal!), helping us see what lies beneath the surface. Together, we will explore why these distress behaviours occur, with clear examples to make sense of common situations. We’ll then look at the foundations of boundary setting. Along the way, we’ll reflect on why standard parenting advice around consequences may not always help, and how rethinking our responses can foster a stronger sense of safety, trust, and well-being. You’ll leave with a clearer lens for understanding behaviour, as well as practical tools to support both your child and yourself in moments of distress.
