Scheduling and Further Information
The first step in joining the resource and loss-processing group is a brief consultation, during which we discuss the family’s situation, the parents’ current challenges, and their expectations. This ensures that the group is truly a supportive environment where everyone can find the resources they need.
Inquiries can be made via any of the following email addresses.
How Can It Help?
This group is for parents who are raising children with special educational needs (SEN), requiring special treatment (BTMN), or with atypical development – whether it is a physical or intellectual disability, autism, ADHD, sensory impairment, or a genetic disorder.
Here you can find peers, share your experiences, receive support with everyday challenges, and get help with processing losses. Our goal is to provide a safe and accepting community where you can find strength, support, and practical guidance.
