About this Event
Contact are offering a FREE 8-session programme for parents of children with disabilities or additional needs (with and without diagnosis). The 8 workshops are geared up to help parent carers recognise their individual strengths, build confidence, share knowledge, and experience whilst receiving support.
This programme gives opportunities for parents to explore and share their own very unique experiences, whilst developing new skills, building friendships within a group and access to a number of resources to equip them on their journey through the world of disability and additional needs.
It is the intention for parents to attend all 8 sessions, at the end of the programme a certificate will be awarded.
YOU MUST LIVE IN WALES TO JOIN THIS PROGRAMME

Mae Charity Contact yn cynnig rhaglen am ddim dros chwe wythnos, i rieni plant ag anableddau neu anghenion ychwanegol (diagnosis neu beidio).
Mae'r 8 gweithdy wedi'u paratoi i helpu rhieni sy'n ofalwyr i adnabod eu cryfderau unigol, magu hyder, rhannu gwybodaeth a phrofiad wrth dderbyn cefnogaeth.
Mae'r rhaglen hon yn rhoi cyfleoedd i rieni archwilio a rhannu eu profiadau unigryw eu hunain, wrth ddatblygu sgiliau newydd, meithrin cyfeillgarwch o fewn grŵp a mynediad at nifer o adnoddau i'w paratoi ar eu taith drwy fyd anabledd ac anghenion ychwanegol.
Y bwriad yw i rieni fynychu pob un o'r 8 sesiwn, ar ddiwedd y rhaglen bydd tystysgrif yn cael ei dyfarnu.
