We All Need Support

You don't need a reason to need support; meeting with other parents/carers can be fun, and give time to talk about what's going on.

Parents/carers in research studies say the same thing - we can all feel better and do better with the right sort of help and encouragement, and it doesn't have to come from experts. Other mums or dads who know what it's like can make all the difference. And if you feel better about things the children will benefit too. Being with other parents/carers means you can compare notes about the children and perhaps pick up tips; you can offer and receive practical help; have someone to lean on when things get too much, enjoy their company and a break from spending time with the children.
