Connecting parents with their peers
MyTime is a FREE peer support program for parents and carers of children with disability, developmental delay, concern about their child’s development or cronic medical condition.
It’s a regular meeting place where you can unwind, socialise, discuss, get information, and support and be supported by other parents and family carers. It’s a world away from appointments and therapy. It’s support for you!
Members get to plan the group sessions around their specific needs as carers.
MyTime Marrickville is run by parent-peer workers who have shared experience in raising a child with disabilities and delays.
At MyTime, you can look forward to:
- Chat over tea/coffee – In some MyTime sessions; members relax over a coffee, talk about their week and share advice and information.
- Learn something new – In some sessions, the facilitator or a guest speaker might lead discussions on a topic of interest.
- Take care of yourself – sometimes, the group might have fun with an activity aimed at helping members relax and look after their well-being.
- Build your village of support with likeminded families that understand.
This program is for
Parents, family members and primary carers of children aged 0–18 years who have a disability, developmental delay, are neurodivergent or if there are concerns about their development.
When
Five fortnightly sessions, each two hours long.
All sessions run from 11am to 1pm AEDT for NSW, ACT, VIC and TAS.
You’re welcome to join any session, or let us know during registration if you prefer a specific one.
While we offer suggested discussion topics, you’re always welcome to bring any questions or themes that matter most to you.
