Support Groups for Parents and Carers

Our range of support groups offer a safe space for carers and parents of children with disability and developmental delay. Support groups are an opportunity for parents and carers to discuss the supports they might need, share information, tap into parenting programs and forums, and to hear from guest speakers on a range of topics.

Some groups cater to specific needs, for example providing an environment where fathers can share their experiences and feelings around having a child living with disability, or families that are seeking to understand more about autism.

If you have any questions, please contact Connect’s team on (03) 8552 2222 or via connect@moira.org.au
