NEAD Education

NEAD Education & Training - Supporting understanding. Building confidence. Creating safer, more informed communities.

At NEAD Support, we offer a range of online educational sessions designed to help schools, families, and young people develop a clearer, kinder understanding of Non‑Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD) and related neurodiversity. These sessions are grounded in evidence-based practice, lived experience, and a compassionate, accessible approach.

Who the sessions are for

We offer tailored webinars for:

  • Teachers and school staff

Practical guidance on recognising NEAD, supporting pupils safely, and creating inclusive environments.

  • Parents and carers

Clear, reassuring information to help families understand NEAD and respond with confidence.

  • Young people

Age‑appropriate sessions focusing on understanding symptoms, self‑regulation strategies, and feeling safe and supported.

  • Individual schools or organisations

Bespoke training shaped around your setting’s needs, policies, and pupil population.

What to expect

Our live online sessions typically include:

• A clear explanation of NEAD and how it presents in young people

• Practical strategies for support and communication

• Space for questions in a safe, moderated environment
