Welcome to STAK.Life

STAK (Stefans Acts of Kindness) is a Kent-based Community Interest Company (CIC) that provides training, consultancy, and creative wellbeing groups for neurodivergent young people and their families. 

Founded by the parents of Stefan Kluibenschadl, who died in 2022 after struggling with his mental health, our aim is to continue his legacy of kindness and support, particularly for those who feel isolated or bullied.

We offer workshops on neurodivergence for parents, professionals, and businesses, as well as creative and well-being support groups for neurodivergent young people and those experiencing grief and loss.

The training was so insightful and useful. I feel well-equipped to have an empathetic, positive approach to interacting with neurodiverse young people. Emma shared a lot of excellent knowledge and useful examples - thank you so much.

Massive impact. Loved every minute of it. Such a wealth of knowledge and just a great day” – professional.
Such a shame that more of this training isn’t being delivered in schools. As a teacher with 22 years of experience in mainstream schools, I have seen first-hand the lack of awareness of neurodivergence and understanding of how to accommodate children’s different processing needs.

It’s having training like this that makes my life as a parent of a child with autism a lot easier. Having some understanding of what my child is experiencing helps so much with everyday life and how I can try and help her through her challenges.

Made very accessible a whole range of tools and knowledge in regard to making reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent people and just explaining and demonstrating neurodiversity.

Really good information, and Tristan and Emma were able to answer all my questions. I am definitely more knowledgeable about neurodivergency and can implement it into my work and personal life.

This group has been a welcome opportunity to speak honestly about my grief in a safe and supportive environment with people who understand and don’t judge. Ive been able to try new things that add to my virtual personal coping kit bag and that I wouldn’t have either considered or had access to before. Grief can be such an overwhelming and isolating experience but this group has offered me a community and safety with my emotions.

Personally, it’s the first time that I feel I have been supported and my voice heard since losing my Dad. The evenings give you an opportunity to meet with likeminded people who are individually grieving in their own way but have so many commonalities. I feel it’s a safe space and I am already not looking forward to it ending.
