Before the Meltdown ...
Let's unpack the biodynamics of a meltdown. What happens in the body during a meltdown. People talk about deep breathing, but why?
Learn signs that a meltdown is brewing as well as tools and practices to use to perhaps avoid one.
This workshop is focused on Mums, because we all know that without Mum's strength, tenacity and staying power, things can fall apart. So please ...
“Take care of your own mask before helping others” — Airline Safety briefing.
Come along and gain the knowledge of what may be happening for them inside their wee and not so wee body's and some influences on a meltdown.
This is an in-person workshop, so you will be involved and come away with knowledge, resources and tools to use.
So please:
Before you get to pulling your hair out stage.
Before you burn out.
Before another call from daycare or school.
Before your child has another meltdown.

About the workshop
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
Understand meltdowns as biological stress responses, not behavioural choices
Be able to use the meltdown lifecycle and where intervention is most effective
Identify early physiological and emotional signs that precede meltdowns
Understand how the nervous system, heart, and brain interact under stress
Apply simple regulation strategies for themselves and their child
Recognize the importance of adult regulation during moments of duress
Use observation tools to begin shifting from reaction to prevention
Note - I do believe "Technology Meltdowns" are different and deserve a separate workshop.
So, let’s get started!
Whether you're a parent or caregiver, this workshop series offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing sensory and emotional challenges, providing you with tools to foster growth, resilience, and harmony. And in case of Emergency - you are prepared.

About Me
Adrienne J Furness
Hi, I’m Adrienne Furness, an educator, and I help parents, caregivers, teachers, educators and related professionals understanding of the biodynamics of a meltdown from research and evidence-based interventions.
I run courses and workshops to bring understanding, not just with this series of two workshops, but also a four series workshop Breaking through the Meltdown Maze. All my courses are designed to provide knowledge about those who are neurodiverse, particularly autistic, to assist in gaining control of meltdowns. I'm keen for mums to take care of themselves to avoid their own meltdowns. Armed with knowledge, strategies, tools and resources that parents, teachers and others will be able to see what stage their person is at through the meltdown lie cycle to avert or avoid a full-blown meltdown or even better be able to predict and quell it’s rise.
Note - I do believe "Technology Meltdowns" are different, but I shall talk to that in the workshops.
So, let’s get started!
