Family Wellbeing; Workshops For The Parents & Carers Of Children With Disabilities
Having worked for several years with parents, carers, foster carers and special guardians of children, we have familiarised ourselves with many of the issues that affect families on an everyday basis and have been able to provide help advice and guidance to families on a day to day issues as well as more serious long-term issues. One of the issues that comes up frequently is the issue of providing information and advice to parents of young people with disabilities. Certain aspects such as the transition from children to adolescents remain the
same regardless of disability or non-disability.
Our workshops are straight forward and uncomplicated and offer practical information in a fun and informal way, on everyday issues that crop up for Parents & Carers of disabled young people. This course looks at issues from, Sexuality to creating support networks.
