Group meets monthly online via Zoom.

Are you a parent or carer living in Edinburgh?

The Lothian Centre for Inclusive Living (LCiL) facilitates a peer support group for parents and carers of disabled children and young people and children and young people with additional support needs.

The group is facilitated so parents and carers can share experiences, support each other and set discussion topics.

The monthly peer support group is organised and facilitated by LCiL staff, but owned by the group members, who meet to:

- Discuss issues and share information
- Get practical information, find out about resources and who to ask
- Develop skills and build confidence
- Hear from guest speakers and organisations on a range of topics, picked by the group

The group is attended by parents of children from toddlers to adults and is not condition-specific. It is always open to new members.

What will I get from attending?

- Meet other parents and carers
- Explore ideas and opportunities around support
- Find out practical information and resources
- Develop skills and build confidence
- Hear from guest speakers and organisations on a range of topics

Each meeting aims to:

- Be relaxed & informal with time to talk to each other & share information.
- Have time for a dedicated speaker on a topic chosen by the group.
