Wellbeing Resources for Parents, Carers and Professionals Supporting Children with Trauma and Neurodivergence

At Steps to Connection, we know how physically and emotionally demanding it can be to support children and teens who have experienced developmental trauma, attachment disruptions, or are navigating life with neurodivergent needs. Whether you’re an adoptive parent, foster carer, or a professional working closely with families, your wellbeing matters.

This page offers practical, evidence-informed self-care tools to help you maintain emotional balance, reduce stress, and support your own nervous system regulation. Our free wellbeing videos—including guided meditations and gentle body-based practices—are designed to be accessible, trauma-sensitive, and rooted in connection-based approaches.

Making time to care for yourself is not a luxury—it’s a foundational part of being able to show up fully for the children and families you care about. Explore the resources below to find simple but powerful practices you can return to again and again.
