Together facilitates a group that is welcoming, non-judgemental, and compassionate in order to be able to share authentically about our struggles. We aim to provide a space where all parents/primary caregivers are seen – included birthing and non-birthing parents, adoptive parents, gender queer, non-binary, trans, intersex and cisgender parents are held and heard and can be supported through a trauma informed, intersectional, anti-oppressive, anti-racist and anti-ableist lens. Our drop-in peer support groups do not include crisis support. All peer support groups are co-facilitated by 2 Peer Support Volunteers. Please contact [email protected] , to access the online group.
