Working with Togetherness

Thanks to support from our partners, this offer is available to all Sheffield families.

“Being a parent is one of life’s most important journeys, full of love, hope and challenge. At times, every family needs a little extra support, and no parent should ever feel they have to manage alone. In Sheffield, we want every parent and carer to feel a true sense of belonging — to feel valued, supported, and confident that help is there when it is needed. Togetherness Online has been created to provide open, accessible support for parents and carers of children and young people, because when families feel supported, children and young people are better able to thrive.”

Meredith Teasdale – Strategic Director of Children’s Services

Testimonials

‘This course has been an absolutely invaluable gift to me. It has and will change so many aspects of my life. I am undoubtedly a better parent and a more rounded and fulfilled person as a result. I WISH I’d known all this years ago.’

Learner

Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager

’My 15-year-old watched the sensory video clips. He identified his brother’s behaviour in some of them but very much saw himself. He commented, ‘Mum, that’s me, and that’s why I do what I do!’. He asked me for the link for the clips and sent them to his friend, who had been calling him weird, so he could understand him better. He also opened up to his friendship group about his autism and can talk to them about what it is like to be him.’

Parent

Understanding your child with additional needs

‘A very easy-to-understand way of putting things, and no longer will I fight against things that I can not change due to biology.’
