Contact online drop-in service for families of children with additional needs

Contact, the charity that supports families with a disabled child, runs an online drop-in service for families in Wales.

Sessions take place most Thursday mornings between 11:00-12:00 during term time. The drop-ins are run by parent volunteers, who provide a safe space to talk about information and experiences. Each drop-in has a topic theme, but it’s also open to anyone who just wants to chat with other families or find out more about Contact. The following sessions are scheduled in February:

  • Thursday 6th Feb - Guilt and how to combat it, pressures on parent carers, emotions
  • Thursday 13th Feb - Trying our best, finding your tribe, fitting in, positive thinking, making big decisions for your child
  • Thursday 20th Feb - Diagnosis, coming to terms with it and how it affects our children and family.
Sessions are free to join but you'll need to register first to get the video link. Click here for more information.
