Service Description

We are a proud alliance partner of Mindworks. At Barnardo’s Surrey Positive Parenting, we support parents/carers of children (6 to 18 years old) who would benefit from a deeper understanding of neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD. We have two offer available, The Nurture Programme is for parents and carers of a young person who is not diagnosed with ADHD, they might see typical ADHD behaviours at home, at school or when out in the community. Parents and Carers can attend this programme even if they are not sure if their young person will go on to be diagnosed. Our other programme is the Parent Factor. This is for parents and carers with a young person that is diagnosed with ADHD. 

In both our programmes we give parents and carers strategies to manage challenging behaviour whilst gaining support from parents or carers in a similar situation. We have groups online, that run during the day and evening. Both programmes are delivered in an eight-week programme. 

We can deliver this programme face-to-face at schools in Surrey, if you are from a school and are interested in this offer please email us at surreypositiveparenting@barnardos.org.uk. If you are a parent or carer and you would like to attend a face-to-face session at your child’s school please let us know the name of your child’s school by emailing us on the address: surreypositiveparenting@barnardos.org.uk. We can make contact with the school. 
 

We empower parents by helping them to:

  • gain confidence and skills as parents when living with a child with ADHD
  • exploring how positive parenting is beneficial to the family as a whole
  • discuss strategies for effective behaviour management
  • have the opportunity to meet with other parents
  • understanding the importance of clear communication for a child with ADHD
