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 sessions which run over lunch time.

Being able to talk about our family difficulties and listening to others in the same situation was really helpful
