This is a parenting course like no other.
A five week course to take you from a wrung out, overwhelmed worrier to a trauma-informed Unstoppable Parent led by me, Heidi Mavir! As a trained Mental Health First Aider and CPD Accredited Trauma-Informed Professional, I spend my days advocating for many, many families, along with my own.
In 2018, my son, Theo, experienced a mental health crisis, brought on by the struggles he faced in mainstream education as an undiagnosed autistic student. Suddenly, I found myself up the proverbial creek without any paddles. With Theo too unwell to attend school - or even leave the house - I had a lot to learn about autism, SEN law, and how to unlock support for Theo, who was desperate to be back in education. I committed myself to finding out everything I could about neurodivergence, education, health and social care plans, and what it means to advocate for your disabled child in crisis.
I took Theo's case to SEN Tribunal and secured a bespoke package of education, so that he had the support he needed to finish his GCSEs. As an extra surprise, during the process, I also discovered that I am neurodivergent... at 44 years old!
I have spoken openly about the impact the process had on me, sharing my experiences as a parent whose own mental health spiralled as a result of the overwhelming stress and pressure felt by parents of children unable to attend school.
To help other parents and carers who find themselves in similar circumstances, I developed The Unstoppable Parent Programme - a five week "happening" designed to give parents time and space to arm themselves with the tools they need to keep on keeping on.
We don't do parent blame here!
Rather we do neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed guided learnings to help you get really bloody good at being very, chuffing kind to yourself and - in turn - to empower you to become a powerful advocate for your children.
This is not therapy but it is designed to be therapeutic.
The Unstoppable Parent Programme is a shared experience of learning how to show yourself kindness and compassion. A safe place to have some time to consider your own needs and to add some new tools to your belt that you can use when the going gets tough.
Do you live in a neurodivergent household?
Do you feel isolated, gaslit and invalidated?
Do you struggle with the daily overwhelm of advocating for your child?
When someone suggests self-care you think "chance would be a fine thing"?
Do you find it hard to say no to things or people?
Does your brain just need a bloody good rest?!
In the three years I have worked with Heidi, I've consistently been impressed by her capacity to hold safe, compassionate spaces for groups where people feel seen and heard. Her training in mental health, trauma-informed practice and advocacy, combined with her natural warmth (and comedy genius) make this a course not to be missed!

A little bit about your
trainer:
Heidi Mavir is a public speaker, autistic advocate, author, podcaster and parent to an autisic/adhd teenager. She is also a chronic oversharer and a bit of a bad ass. Her book Your Child Is Not Broken is an Sunday Times bestseller and is the only book of its kind to break into the Amazon top 50!
A trained Mental Health First Aider and CPD Accredited Trauma-Informed Professional, Heidi uses her knowledge, learning and experience to help other parents and carers to become powerful advocates for their neurodivergent kids. She has built an online community of over 10,000 families, supported by parent professionals and SEN advocates who want to improve opportunities for autistic learners.
Heidi is passionate about empowering families in their fight to secure suitable education for their children and young people. Through her work supporting families she aims to ensure that children like Theo no longer fall through the cracks, but rather are supported by knowledgeable, empowered adults who know how to get their voices heard.
Heidi has spoken on stages across the UK, and has been featured in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and on BBC National News.
Heidi loves giraffes and will delight you with "giraf-facts" given the opportunity. Her guilty pleasures are posh gin, Yorkshire Tea and her leopard print sofa, which cost more than her car. She wishes all dresses had pockets.
By the end of the course you will:
-
Have an understanding of why your brain does what it does... and know why that's absolutely ok!
-
Have some tools and practical techniques to help you self-sooth when you need to calm your brain a bit.
-
Get better at setting boundaries, pushing back when you need to and not giving yourself such a hard time.
-
You'll also get a certificate (which apparently is a BIG selling point) and you'll likely make some friends along the way too!
