Parent Support Group

Trim Family Resource Centre host a Parents Support Group that meets once a month for parents of children and young people with a disability/additional needs.

The group was set up in 2021 with a view to providing parents/caregivers with an opportunity to meet and get information, advice and support for themselves and their children/young people. The group offers a relaxed, informal space where parents can access and share information and resources that they have found helpful and discuss any concerns they may have.

Meetings take place once a month and are led by two Family Support workers, Caroline Morris and Maryrose Williams. Thanks to some funding from the DCDE ‘Supporting Parents’ fund, the group organises the following:

  • Monthly Meetings
  • Parent/Carers Information sessions
  • Webinars & Online Workshops
  • Parent self-care events
  • Coffee mornings
