What to expect from my new parent support group:
The main aim is to bring parents together to support each other and that I will set goals and agenda according to the shared needs identified in the group.
The group will be a responsive and targeted program that will be shaped by the participants priorities. I will draw on all of my experience as a psychologist and theories and models such as attachment theory, emotion coaching principals, Circle of Security etc.
I envision that there will be a lot of discussion about emotional regulation, supporting your children’s social development, working together with school/kinder or daycare, understanding the service system, advocating for your child, self-care etc. I will consider getting guest speakers as well if there is interest in that idea.
Most parents in the group will have a neurodivergent child, some are not the biological parents and some may be neurodivergent themselves.
The group size will be capped at 8. So I can create a safe and trusting environment.
