“We are helping to close the gap between need and support for child wellbeing by facilitating an online space for parents and carers to discuss neurodiverse topics and experiences”
Online Support Spaces
At Child Wellbeing Tools, we are proud to support and work alongside Catherine Eveness (she/her)—a highly experienced, neurodivergent Theraplay®, Sensory, and DDP-Informed Therapist.
Catherine brings over 20 years of expertise in supporting children and families, with a deep specialism in adoption, fostering, and developmental trauma.
Catherine’s personal and professional journey has been shaped by lived experience. As a neurodivergent parent herself, she has navigated the complexities of the EHCP process, alternative education pathways, and the realities of raising a neurodivergent family.
Her values are closely aligned with our mission at Child Wellbeing Tools: to bridge the gap between need and support for childrens wellbeing.
We are excited to support Catherines work offering Support Spaces, for parents and carers of neurodivergent children to come together in a safe, guided environment.
These virtual support spaces offer:
A chance to connect with others on similar journeys
Specialist-led discussions on neurodiverse topics and lived experiences
Compassionate guidance and space for expression
Community, validation, and the knowledge that you are not alone
Together with Catherine and the NeuroConnect team, we are committed to offering accessible, affirming, and heart-led support to families navigating neurodiversity and trauma. We invite you to explore our free and affordable resources as well as Neuro-connects support groups, and upcoming sessions—all designed with real-life experience, compassion, and expert knowledge at the core.
