FACE 2 FACE

Discovering your child has a disability or additional need can be a devastating experience, it is easy to feel isolated, shocked........even guilty.

Our Face2Face project supports families with children with a special need or disability, especially at the time of diagnosis.

Face2Face believes that every family is special and we respond to each family's needs through a combination of home-visiting support, group work and social events. Our volunteers help parents going through difficult times by:
*Listening to feelings and understanding fears
*Offering a balance to diagnosis
*Improving access to resources and services
*Developing parent's confidence in their ability to care
*Empowering parents to act as advocates
*Encouraging productive partnerships.

This support is offered in the families' own homes by a trained team of volunteers, often themselves parents of a child with a special need or disability.

Families are invited to parties, outings and fun days.
A support group is normally held on the 3rd Friday of each month at Ramsey Court from 12 noon-2pm (bring a packed lunch).
Please see the What’s Happening Now page for forthcoming dates or contact the office for further details.
