Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

PDA-Parent support groups

We run parent support groups once each school term for parents and caregivers of children with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile. These groups provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to explore PDA‑related topics, share experiences, and connect with other parents who understand the unique challenges of supporting a PDA

These groups provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to explore PDA‑related topics, share experiences, and connect with other parents who understand the unique challenges of supporting a PDA child.


Groups are held face to face and run for approximately 1.5 hours per session.

If you are interested in attending, please contact us to be added to our mailing list to receive information about upcoming groups.
