Connecting parents with their peers
MyTime is a unique service for parents and carers of children with a disability, developmental delay or concern about their child’s development.
It’s a regular meeting place where you can unwind, socialise, discuss, get information, and support and be supported by other parents and family carers. It’s a world away from appointments and therapy. It’s support for you!
Members get to plan the group sessions around their specific needs as carers.
MyTime Marrickville is run by parent-peer workers who have shared experience in raising a child with disabilities and delays.
During MyTime, we will:
Chat over tea/coffee – In some MyTime sessions; members relax over a coffee, talk about their week and share advice and information.
Learn something new – In some sessions, the facilitator or a guest speaker might lead discussions on a topic of interest.
Take care of yourself – sometimes, the group might have fun with an activity aimed at helping members relax and look after their well-being.
