The Mothers’ Support Group at DSRC is an 8-week group, providing the opportunity for Mothers to discuss a range of topics related to parenting a child with an intellectual disability and / or autism.
Topics include understanding and sharing the diagnosis, grief and resilience, interacting with schools, behavioural challenges and self-care. Guest speakers from the community and DSRC also contribute their expertise. The group is a great way to connect with other Mothers who understand your daily experience.
The Mothers’ Support Group is a small group, for 6 – 8 members, and runs for 8 consecutive weeks. Day and evening times are offered.
Groups are offered 2 – 3 times per year.
