The Weinberg Family CP Center offers monthly support groups – one for parents of children with CP, and another for adult patients. The meetings are facilitated by a social worker and the topics are chosen by the attendees. The groups are a great opportunity to connect with peers and share resources.
Goals for the Parents' Group
- Create a safe space where parents can share their feelings and challenges
- Exchange practical information, such as schooling and community resources
- Plan semi-annual social events where parents and children have the opportunity to meet each other
Goals for the Adults' Group
- Create supportive space where adults with CP can get together
- Exchange practical information, such as housing and employment resources
- Work together to support advocacy initiatives and plan social events
