Contact a Family West Midlands
Contact a Family is the only UK-wide charity providing advice, information and support to the parents of all disabled children - no matter what their disability or health condition. We also enable parents to get in contact with other families, both on a local and national basis.
We can help by offering information, advice and support to parents and carers of children with any special need or disability as well as professionals working with families. Organising workshops and conferences for parents (which professionals can sometimes attend) based on local interest. These are opportunities for parents to come together and share their experiences; providing a quarterly newsletter, which offers information on sources of local support, events and covers topics of interest to families such as benefits, holidays and national organisations. The newsletter is available to both parents and professionals free of charge; working alongside professionals to ensure that the needs of parents, carers and children with special needs are represented; providing training to professionals and groups on issues that affect families of children with special needs; supporting the development of new parent groups and strengthening existing ones.
