This support group is an opportunity for parents to meet informally to decrease feelings of isolation and to connect with other parents of children with disabilities who speak the same language and share the same culture. The support group also gives the opportunity to meet other parents who have empathy and experience and have "been there". It is also helpful to connect with other parents of children with disabilities to share ideas, experiences, and information. New families and caregivers are always welcome.

Joining a support group can be a helpful way to learn from other parents about resources in the community also. Those who wish to share or simply listen are invited to attend. PHP provides advocacy skills to ensure and protect the rights of your child and to build your own confidence and aid in your ability to participate in obtaining appropriate supports and services for your child.

Group usually meets on the 3rd Friday of each month from 7-9pm.  The meetings are now help at Parents Helping Parents.

For more information please contact 408-727-5775.
