Peer support groups for parents and carers
‘I can talk to other parents who were in a similar situation to me at one point. They tell me how to get
the right support and it makes such a difference hearing what is possible’
The monthly peer support group is organised and facilitated by LCiL staff, but owned by the group members, who meet to:
- discuss issues and share information
- get practical information, find out about resources and who to ask
- develop skills and build confidence
- hear from guest speakers and organisations on a range of topics, picked by the group
The group is attended by parents of children from toddlers to adults and is not condition-specific. It is always open to new members.
Meetings run from 10.30 to 12.30 with lunch provided afterwards. They alternate between Monday and Thursday to allow those who work part-time to attend at least every other month.
Please see contact page for how to be informed of future meetings
