Parents Plus Special Needs Programme

"By co-facilitating the PPSN Programme, I hope to offer support, experience, advice and understanding to families starting out on this emotional journey, to families facing new challenges as their child grows and to create support networks and friendships among parents of children with severe additional needs." Fiona McCormack, mum to Caoimhe (16) with severe ID

FCI and Parents Plus wish to provide a supportive environment for parents who attend a PPSN Programme in 2024. The course is free of charge for parents to attend. Each parent will receive a PPSN Parent Book free of charge also.

The PPSN Programme provides parents with an opportunity to meet with other families who are raising a child or young person with additional support needs. Each week, parents discuss topics from the PPSN Parent Book. The co-facilitators have been trained to support each family to decide which course ideas are helpful to apply in their own home.

If you are interested in attending a PPSN Programme in 2024, please contact us at training@familycarers.ie to let us know.
