When a child is diagnosed with a disability, the family goes through a rollercoaster of emotions. Even though the needs of each family are individual, some queries and emotions are common amongst families who have a child with disability. Thus, Aġenzija Sapport offers workshops and support groups to support these families.
AIM
The aim of such workshops are for Social Workers to discuss pre-planned topics of interest to the parents, suggested by parents themselves, followed by an open discussion as a support group in the second hour.
These groups are free of charge and are led by professionals.
Upcoming sessions – will be announced soon!
HOW TO APPLY
Parents, grandparents, carers or curators of children with disability who are under the age of 18 years. Those interested in attending do not necessarily need to be followed by a Social Worker from Sapport.
