Community Support Groups

Parenting Special Children has set up several new local community support groups for families of children and young people with additional needs.

Aims of the Support Groups:

  • Provide a safe and supportive environment to share experiences and gain support with the unique challenges faced by families of children with additional needs
  • Establish support/social networks for families
  • Provide a half hour topic presentation relevant to parenting a child with additional needs. The remainder of the session will be for discussion of the topic and social support time

Children welcome under parent supervision. Refreshments provided. Please bring a packed lunch for groups which run over lunch time.

I’ve attended 3 seminars so far and they've made such a positive impact of our life. Now I think we couldn’t cope without it. It’s just so wonderful that there is your organisation to support parents like us.
