When you're the parent or carer of a child with additional support needs, various aspects of the caregiving role get magnified. Playdates can become complex projects requiring diplomacy, support, and vast quantities of time and patience. Trips to the doctor are more frequent, time-consuming, and fraught with worry. Shopping excursions can result in sensory and emotional overloads for both you and the child. Socializing with family and friends who don’t understand can result in judgmental stares and comments, making you feel like a bad parent.
With so much more to think about, worry about, plan for, and manage, it is paramount that you're taking good care of yourself and get support from others who understand. Whether you feel like talking or are more comfortable just listening, you are welcome to join our non-judgmental, friendly atmosphere. This support group is an informal virtual gathering creating space for parents and carers of children with additional support needs to connect, share experiences, listen, and feel supported and understood.
