Coffee Chats are a parent support group in which parents/grandparents/guardians come together to learn, grow and find connections. This group is led by our Service Coordinator, Tonya White, and Lianne Wyatt, our Caregiver Engagement Lead, and runs throughout the year to offer emotional support to families.
It is an opportunity for families to meet and make meaningful connections with other families, including those who are just starting their journey in receiving a diagnosis. Families share and gain practical advice and insights from one another in a safe, non-judgmental space.
*Please note, there is no childcare available.
A group that helps facilitate conversations that male caregivers would like to have in a supportive yet light-hearted and free-form environment. Discussions are caregiver-led and co-facilitated by a behaviour therapist and psychotherapist. The group provides an opportunity to share and learn from each others’ collective experiences that are relevant to male caregivers. This group meets once a month and doughnuts will be provided.

Could you use a night out once a month just to relax and have some fun with other grown-ups (and no children)? Join us on Tuesday evenings and Monday afternoons for our Caregiver Club! We’ll plan something a little different for each month: your ideas and suggestions are always welcome. Light refreshments will be provided. Come out and enjoy a little R&R and make some new friends!
