Our live courses for PDAers or PDA people is currently in development, however we currently offer a range of recorded Q&As and Webinars.

Our courses are delivered by facilitators with valuable lived experience of PDA. They may be PDAers themselves, parents, carers, partners, family members or professionals working with PDA people. For any questions about the content of our training please contact: training@pdasociety.org.uk.

Our online Q&A Live sessions invite guest speakers to answer questions about PDA and specific topics live via Zoom. The Q&As will be recorded and available for a small fee through our website.  

Questions can be submitted at the time of booking and/or via the Zoom chat function on the night. It won’t be possible to answer specific questions about your personal situation within these Q&A sessions, but you are welcome to contact our support service to discuss your individual circumstances.
