Parents Connect
Parents Connect is a 6-week support programme for parents and carers of young disabled people. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, sessions will be run online until further notice.
Eligibility
The service is free and for parents and carers who are:
- aged 18 or over
- the parent or carer of a young disabled person between the age of 0 and 18
- living in England or Wales
Group sessions with other parents and carers
The online sessions will be in groups of up to 12 parents or carers. There will be 6 parent sessions, usually one each week. After you apply we will try to find a time and date that will work for you.
Each session will:
- encourage you to talk to others in the group
- provide you with information about local and national services
- last a couple of hours
Parents Connect customerIt was a valuable source of information and opened up our eyes to other things to help that we didn’t already know. To meet other families with similar struggles means you are not alone in this journey. Highly recommended.
