SENse of Support Mentorship Program

Our SENse of Support Mentorship Program provides comprehensive, long-term guidance for families navigating the journey of developmental disabilities. This program is designed to support families not just occasionally, but consistently, offering experienced mentors who understand the challenges families face and can help them make informed decisions and navigate complex systems.

Through monthly group meetings and regular individual sessions, we offer personalized support that is tailored to meet each family’s specific needs. Our mentors work closely with families to develop strategies for daily challenges, provide emotional support, and assist in navigating educational and healthcare systems.

The program includes:

• Educational Resources: Access to a range of materials to enhance understanding and empowerment.

• Support Groups: Peer-to-peer support, where families can share experiences and learn from each other.

• Quarterly Workshops: Focused workshops on key topics relevant to SEND families, helping to build skills and knowledge.

• A unique aspect of the SENse of Support program is its balance of immediate assistance with long-term development. While mentors provide help with current challenges, they also work to build families' capacity for independent advocacy and decision-making. This includes:

• Assistance with Paperwork: Help navigating forms, applications, and official documentation.

• Guidance in Accessing Services: Support in connecting with services, benefits, and resources.

• Developing Communication Strategies: Tools and strategies to effectively communicate with professionals involved in their child's care.
