Support Groups

“Having a parent support group gives my family the opportunity to be with and learn from other families in similar situations. Topics are focused on our needs”  ---parent attending support group

 

Our support groups facilitate a network of families and resources that are available to help parents of children with and without disabilities. Parents may feel isolated and overwhelmed with the medical, emotional, financial, educational and social issues they face as they raise their child. Through our support groups, we provide information regarding resources for children and their families within the community. Our groups also serve as a forum to discuss various topics that are focused on the needs of the parents and families.  Our support groups are not only a source of vital information, but they also help parents build and maintain interpersonal relationships with other parents. Through these resources and relationships our parents feel less isolated and more empowered.
