Build your knowledge and support network

Our free parent support groups connect parents and carers raising children with similar diagnoses or at similar ages and/or developmental stages.

These groups are facilitated by our knowledgeable Peer Navigators, all of whom have lived experience of caring for a family member with disability.

Each week, we’ll provide practical guidance and strategies to help participants manage issues specifically relevant to their child and their families.
