Support Network for Parents who have children with special needs
What is Reach's Parent Support Network
The Parent Network’s primary function is to provide support for parents that have children with special needs between the ages of 0-18.
It has two main components:
- Sharing pertinent information
- Connecting parents with other parents
South Delta Reach Parent Support Group:
The parent group is an opportunity for parents with children who have ADHD or other complex behaviors to come together. At the group, you can learn and reflect on your life as a parent of children that may behave in ways that are unexpected and a challenge to understand. You will gain insight in building positive relationships, celebrating your children and focus on your emotional well being. We provide a welcoming and safe environment to share experiences, knowledge and offer support to each other. This group is led by a trained facilitator and is held the last Friday of the month, September to June, 9:30-11:30 am, at the Reach Society Centre for Children at 5050 47 Avenue, Ladner, BC. Contact Pam Collins at 604.946.6622 ext 359 or pamc@reachchild.org for more information.
