HAND IN HAND

Supporting families to support each other . . .

NBI is starting a new program. The 'Hand in Hand' program will create links between parents and carers of children with a disability to provide each other with support and friendship. Support may come in the form of practical advice, meeting for a coffee or play dates with their children.

NBI offers training for interested parents / carers / families and will also hold a variety of events to ensure everyone is matched appropriately. Through a one-to-one match, parents, grandparents, carers or families are linked according to individual needs as well as commonality between their families.

All people involved in the program are doing so voluntarily. NBI will provide assistance paring individuals or families whilst providing future opportunities for community support outings such as picnics or dinners. Once a link is formed, NBI will be available for support but parents, carers and families will meet on an individual basis.

To register your interest in being a volunteer support person, or to be supported by another parent or carer, please contact Ingrid on 9970 0500 or ingrid@nbi.org.au
