New initiatives for Neurodivergent CYPs
The Toolbox from Mindler is a dedicated webpage specifically focussing on ADHD and Autism support for children and young people. The Toolbox offers inspirational content, self-help tools, interactive livestreams, anonymous text chat service (to ask any questions they may have about Neurodiversity) and lots of other resources and information. It also serves as a guide, signposting users to alternative services and accessible interventions within Hertfordshire. The toolbox will be hosting a Livestream on 29th May where the team play popular video games and answer all questions related to Neurodiversity. You can share thetoolbox.mindler.co.uk with patients, parents, carers, and other professionals.
Understanding my Autism/ADHD offers a range of workshops aimed at children and young people in Hertfordshire aged 7-16 years with a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, or both. These workshops, delivered by five specialist charities in a group setting, will provide children and young people with resources and strategies to enhance their understanding of Autism and/or ADHD. For individuals aged 14 and above, diagnosed or not, there's the opportunity to access Cog's, a mental wellbeing app developed for and by the Neurodivergent community. This app aids users in navigating daily life, understanding neurodiversity, and building positive habits.
For more information on the Understanding my Autism/ADHD intervention you can visit thetoolbox.mindler.co.uk . Referrals are accepted from parent’s, carers, or professionals. Courses run for between 6-12 weeks, with both online and face-to-face options available.
