Four people smile during a video call. Three wear headphones, and one makes a peace sign with both hands. Each person is in a separate frame with different backgrounds.

Our Let’s Chat sessions for parent carers in Wales are back for the autumn term, with fortnightly sessions until December.

Hosted by our Wales Parent Reps, Let’s Chat offers a friendly and informal space to meet other parent carers, share experiences and talk about whatever is on your mind.

Each session has a theme to help get the conversation started. From back-to-school worries and preparing for adult life, to managing feelings of guilt and the pressures of Christmas.

But you don’t have to stick to the topic. You’re welcome to talk about anything that’s affecting you as a parent carer.

What happens at a Let’s Chat session?

Sometimes it helps to talk to other parent carers who understand the highs and lows of raising a disabled or additional needs child or young person.

Let’s Chat is a safe space where you can listen, join the conversation, ask questions or find information and support.

Sessions take place online via Zoom from 11am to 12pm. You’re welcome to join for as little or as long as you like, and you can keep your camera and microphone off if you prefer.

If you’re unfamiliar with Zoom, just let us know and we can help you get started.
