Calmer Lives recommend approaches based on an understanding that ‘challenging behaviours’ are stress responses that need to be met with connection, co-regulation and relational safety. We must try to get side on and not opposite. We must try to fight fire with water, not fire! This consultation allows parents and professionals to develop a deeper understanding around the ‘why’ of behaviour and, in turn, be able to effectively support de-escalation and calm through both pro-active and reactive tool kits.

Parents, carers, professionals, supporting any young person with distressed or unsafe behaviour and neurodivergent traits such as Autism and ADHD.

“Howard helped us to reconnect with our children and enabled us to further support each of them individually. Howard provided some one to one consultation with one of the children who was particularly struggling and we feel all of us are happier, calmer and much more understanding of each others needs as a direct result of this.” Claire-Marie Hunt
