|
This programme aims to empower parents and to encourage them to be as effective as possible for the demanding role they have.
The programme acknowledges the considerable expertise of parents and seeks to promote:
· Self-care in order to prevent burnout
· Stress management as a means of reducing stress
· Mutual support for accessing support for self and others
· Listening skills as a means of enhancing relationships (both within the family and with service providers)
· Assertion skills as a way of claiming rights and having needs met
· Information to ensure awareness and confidence.
The programme will describe the reactions and feelings that parents of disabled children and adults report they experienced when they were first told that their child had a disability. Opportunities will be provided for participants to share their experiences.
