A few weeks ago, I stood in a community room surrounded by people who have been involved with Augmenting Therapy CIC, our National Lottery Community Funded business.

I had high hopes of writing about it straight away, turning it into neat little posts for content, sharing and celebrating.

But what actually happened was I couldn’t find the words to do justice to the day that we had.

If you’ve been around for a while, you will know how many years have been poured into this work.

Our team have supported hundreds of young people and families across South Wales, mostly young people who are highly anxious, often neurodivergent and many who have struggled to stay in mainstream education full-time.

I developed an approach in partnership with those families that helped reduce anxiety, increased social connection, was featured on the BBC, and yet, inside, I still didn’t feel like I was enough.

So as I stood in that community room surrounded by loved ones, our beautiful team, organisations we’d partnered with and people who have been on my journey since day one, I felt completely overwhelmed by all of the love.

Seeing a young person who started out in our first pilot group stand up and speak from the heart about the work we have done together over the years was honestly one of the most beautiful and heart-filling moments I’ve had in 18 years.

The fact that he was our photographer for the event and we could pay him was the most incredible full-circle moment.

His talk was followed by a parent from our support group sharing her experience of being a mother of neurodivergent children, which resulted in the whole room being in floods of tears.

I think what I’m trying to say is when you’re ’in it’, it can be so hard to see the impact of what is happening.

Especially if you’re someone (as I am) who is terrible at seeing anything they do through a lens of kindness, compassion or joy.

Despite working on this really, really (really) hard in therapy, these patterns can be hard to break.

So even though this feels later than intended, and this isn’t a series of cute sound bites, it feels only right that I do take the time to celebrate.

I’m truly excited for what comes next.

One of the most beautiful things about a Friday is running our parent and carer support group.

I set it up around 18 months ago for parents and carers of anxious and neurodivergent young people, and for families navigating barriers to education.

It has become one of the things I am most proud of.

Last month we received an anonymous donation that will keep us open for another year. Knowing that someone has so much faith in the value this group brings to people is something that truly cannot be measured.

If you know a parent, carer, or guardian of a young person who can travel to Cardiff, please share the link.

Augmenting Therapy CIC is a community interest company based in Cardiff, supporting parents and carers and neurodivergent young people (wherever they are on their journey to diagnosis) aged 14 and upward who face barriers to education and social participation. We run weekly therapeutic groups that ....

When I first started working with young people, parents and carers were never part of the conversation.

The work took place in settings where maintaining almost complete confidentiality was the safest and most appropriate thing to do.

When I set up Augmenting Therapy CIC, I wanted to do things differently.

Alongside our therapeutic groups for neurodivergent young people, I wanted a space that was entirely for parents and carers so they could be supported by others who were going through similar experiences and feel less alone.

For the last year, I have had the joy of running a free support group for parents and carers in Cardiff, and next week we are inviting the brilliant ND Community Connectors CIC in to share the important work they do and to offer more help and support.

Where: Cardiff Meeting House, Cardiff

When: 24th April

Time: 10-12

If you know anyone who would like to join, please share this with them. (link in comments).
