Calling for interest in Shepparton Care and Share group

Intereach is calling on parents and carers of children with disability or developmental concerns to express interest in joining a new support group in the Shepparton region.   

Intereach Early Childhood Coordinator Codie Edmunds said the family-led Care and Share Support Group would bring together like-minded people to foster connection, encouragement and support.  

Intereach can support in establishing the group, with the aim to empower local parents and carers to design and continue the ongoing facilitation of the group. 

“It’s a safe space where they can share a story and a laugh over a cuppa, organise games, activities and outings that promote mindfulness and joy and create meaningful connections, share information and knowledge and listen to guest speakers,” Ms Edmunds said. 

“The benefits of such a group are immense, allowing parents and carers to share their stories, gain insights, and find support and understanding among other families.  

 ”We understand the unique challenges that come with caring for children with disability or developmental delays. Our goal is to help families in our community feel supported and less isolated by creating a space where they can connect and share their journey.”
