Janine GriffithsParents and carers of children with SEND are being invited to attend a practical workshop in Leeds focused on managing meltdowns and preventing burnout.
The session will take place on May 19 from 12pm to 1pm in Room 316 at Wellington Place, Leeds LS1 4AP.
The workshop will explore understanding meltdowns as nervous system overloads and will offer strategies to help prevent burnout. Organisers say the event will provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for parents and carers to learn, share and feel supported.
The session is being delivered by MaiPha in collaboration with The Children’s Society, Striving for Inclusion and the GBS Wellbeing Team.
MaiPha says it designs and runs practical support programmes for SEND parents, mainly through schools and community services, with a focus on helping families manage stress before situations escalate.
Spaces for the workshop are limited and booking is required.

East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
