Peer support for parents with Gloucester Parent Carer Forum

Published
Gloucestershire Parent Carer Forum will be hosting more 'Listen to Me' coffee meet ups in July for parent carers in Gloucestershire. Gloucestershire Parent Carer Forum is a group for those with lived experience of being a parent carer (so, being a parent and/or a carer of child or young person with any disability, SEN, condition, impairment or additional need).  Look out for training from SENDIASS this month and get-togethers for the whole family in the summer holidays.

Parent carer meet-ups across the county, some with themed support: Form-filling

Join other parent carers in our friendly Facebook support group, on free training courses and for opportunities to share your experiences to influence decision makers.  Our coffee morning β€˜Listen to Me’ meet-ups take place around the county and your first cuppa is free!

 

The friendly and welcoming sessions also aim to reduce the isolation that many families experience when caring for a young person with SEND. Join us and other parent carers at one of our scheduled events:
