Drop-in sessions are for parents and carers of children who display traits associated with or have a diagnosis of, a neurodevelopmental condition including autism, sensory processing, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). A diagnosis is not needed.
These sessions will provide a safe space for parents and carers to meet others in a similar situation and provide the opportunity for peer support, enabling parents to support each other, share experiences and ideas. These groups are facilitated by a Family Support Team Leader. The aim is to provide a supportive and empowering environment for our parents and carers.
There will also be multi-agency drop-ins and peer-support drop-ins available. Multi-agency drop-ins are designed so parents/carers can meet a representative from other services and agencies who may be able to support their family, child or young person.
For details of upcoming multi-agency drop-ins in your area, and who will be attending please visit Daisy Chain's Facebook Group. Peer support drop-ins and designed to be relaxed and informal, providing you with the opportunity to meet other parents/carers in similar situations and discuss any topics or situations that you might be finding challenging, as well as sharing positive stories, top tips, strategies and information.
A member of the Family Support Team will always be present at these drop-ins to provide support and facilitate the group.
For more information, please contact the family support team on 01642 531248.
