The workshop is for parents of children (0-18 years) with Aspergers Syndromewho are interested in learning strategies for surviving and thriving whilst bringingup a child on the spectrum.The aim of the workshop is to assist parents to recognise and stop the stresscycle more often and reap the benefits. Decreasing our own stress as parentscan feel impossible at times, particularly in the context of raising a child who ison the autism spectrum. Increased parental stress in the household can add tothe problems our children experience and leave us feeling guilty and even morestressed! Fortunately there is another way. Enhancing ones own personalcoping has a flow-on effect to the rest of the family. The workshop will include

information and practical activities to assist you to increase your copingstrategies and sense of well-being. Benefits of these methods include betterhealth, more effective parenting and a happier family life.
