Welcome to our Parent Support Group!

You are a caregiver, a parent, and a champion for your child. But who is caring for you?

This group is a place to connect with people who get it. It’s a place to ask questions, share your experiences, and talk openly with others who understand the unique journey you are on. Here, you are not just a parent or a caregiver – you are a person who deserves support, connection, and a community that has your back. Grab a coffee and come as you are, and let’s navigate this journey together.

If you haven’t joined before, please do! Dads are welcome too! We love to welcome new people, it’s a safe, positive space to share and learn.

We meet the first Thursday of the month online at 7:00pm – 8:00pm.

Registrations for this event close at 11 am on the day of the event. This is to allow us to adequately prepare for the session.

 

Dates for the Parent Support Group

10th September Chat session 7:00pm – 8:00pm.

The start of a new school term brings all sorts of chaos. Join our friendly, warm parent support group – let us know what’s on your mind this week, share the load with people who get it, use our space to vent or rant and leave feeling nourished and refreshed.

Whether you’re looking for ideas, want to share what works for your family, or simply want to listen and connect with others who understand, you’ll be very welcome.

Book your place here 

Registrations for this event close at 11 am on the day of the event.

Meet PSG Lead Susan Crawley.

I am Susan Crawley, a mother of a visually impaired son, and I have worked with various sight loss charities. I have had contact with LOOK for 25 years, during this time I trained as a counsellor and taught counselling at various universities and colleges. I had the pleasure of helping to write LOOK’s Mentor programme and it is a great joy seeing it grow from strength to strength.

LOOK’s mission is to help spread the compassion and wisdom that comes when we share our lived experiences. This is what the mentor project does for our VI community, and this is what we will do as parent/carers in these chat sessions – listening and sharing in a safe environment.Nove
