Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

What We Do

 PowerWood is dedicated to helping families, their children and teenagers with overexcitabilities to improve their self-control, self-esteem and pleasure in life. PowerWood works to help children and their families recognise and understand overexcitability. Young people are encouraged to embrace the positives that accompany it, such as creativity, energy and the ability to think outside the box. PowerWood also teaches coping mechanisms to help these sensitive and intense children find happiness and a sense of belonging.

PowerWood supports families with non neuro-typical and overexcitable (OE) individuals leading to more harmonious family life, where people are able to fulfil their passions and dreams.

For those families, we aim for 

• Safety - Provide a safe, non judgemental space to connect, learn and grow together. 
  
• Confidence - Give parents the information, tools and strategies to be able to build their energy reserve, resilience and calm to communicate in an effective and caring manner.
  
• Connection - Increase access to the natural world and sustainable living. Through connecting with nature, we connect on a deeper level with ourselves and our children.
  

PowerWood enables children, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents and families from all cultures to meet others facing similar challenges.

PowerWood is organising fun and informative events for families with intense, sensitive ‘over-excitable’, (more) able children and teenagers. These include Coffee mornings where parenting issues can be discussed and Workshops for Parents, Carers and Professionals.

Events held within a safe and friendly environment can empower and energize development of necessary skills. Where possible, these events are held in rural surroundings where contact with the natural world offers an extra sense of leisure and pleasure.

PowerWood invites you to become part of the PowerWood community.
