We are excited to launch the Parent Support Group (PSG) in 2021. This group has been formed for Parents and Carers of children who have additional support needs at school. It does not matter how big or small your child’s support needs are, there is a place in this group for you.
The aim of the PSG is to provide a space where parents and carers can meet and share their high’s, low’s, and practical insights with other families who might be navigating similar daily experiences. As the PSG grows, we are sure there will be parents and carers who are able to share fabulous recommendations and useful tips/coping strategies, or just be a supportive ear at a time when maybe you just need to talk to people who understand.
Initially, we will be meeting a couple of times each term in a casual setting to get together and chat. Notifications will be sent via Compass and the school newsletter. If you think this group is of interest, we would love to hear from you. Please email fpspsgroup@gmail.com and we will get back to you with further details.
“Parenting a child with additional support needs can be a lonely journey. It can sometimes feel like there are two worlds: the one that other parents at school inhabit, and the isolated and sometimes frustrating one you live in. The parent support group has introduced me to a community of families who, like me, are grappling with how to help their children thrive socially and at school”. - Quote from an article written by a parent who joined her school’s support group
