Mindworks has a new Helpline for family’s struggling with children with ASD/ADHD

Families have told us they would like access out of hours support at the time they are struggling with behaviour / difficulties which could be related to neurodevelopmental need, such as autism or ADHD

An out-of-hours phone line now provides advice to parents and carers and runs from 5pm until 11pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year. More details:
