Parent Support Group

Without rejuvenated parents, how can we expect a child to prosper and enjoy the best quality of life they can have? At SEND Aid we believe parent/carers hold the key to ensuring a SEND child receives the best life they can have. For this to happen we must ensure our parents have the right support and care.

We want parents to drive this group, develop and create a space where they feel they can receive the nourishment needed to then ensure they are able to provide the best they can for their SEND child. 

We envisage the following activities as an initial venture, this whole space will be developed with parents for parents.

There are two distinct areas we feel parents need support in. Firstly, understanding and navigating the complex education and health systems in the UK, from diagnosis to receiving the appropriate level of funding to ensure a SEND child receives the best possible education. Secondly, mental and spiritual support, this may come in the form of group sessions, 1-2-1 sessions, mentoring, counseling. We feel this will help parent/carers find strategies to cope with the daily challenges that can be unique and difficult for those outside the home to understand.

Events will be organised to support parents as well as useful tips will be added to this section of the website. If you would like to share a post, email info@sendaid.org
