MyTime – Online (National)

Virtual MyTime is an online peer support group for families of children with disability or developmental delay. It gives parents who are working or unable to reach a local group the chance to connect online.

During a MyTime session, there is a guided discussion and a space to connect with other families. These discussions offer an opportunity for parents and caregivers to share and learn from each other.

At Virtual MyTime we have practical, encouraging conversations with others who “get it”.

Sessions run weekly at 7.30 pm on Monday evenings during the school term.

The group facilitator is an experienced peer support facilitator who is the parent of a child with disability.
