Who is the support group for? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

This support group is for fathers that have children with a disability or special needs that would like a space to share their experiences, develop connections with others, breaking down barriers, having open discussions around being a parent of a child with special needs. This is an opportunity to reduce the stigma and have support from others. Fathers can also feel overwhelmed, distressed and find it difficult to reach out and seek help around parenting. The support group provides an opportunity to connect with others, and receive support.<\/p>\n
