We’re excited to share the upcoming events hosted by Flying Kites this spring.

💡 We encourage people to attend these sessions as a support team, so you can work through the resource together. If you are ready to shape your Moving Out plans (whether they are happening next week or next year), this is a great way for you to lay out the details together with some support to get started.
Thanks to the IHC Foundation for their support.
🤝 Peer Support Group
This group offers a safe space for parents who want to support their disabled adult children towards independent living. Sessions will be a combination of information sharing and group discussion, with a focus on building a consistent group of families who can learn and share together.
Upcoming dates (6 – 7pm, fortnightly) Starting Wednesday 8 October:

💡 We are hoping to build a stable group who engage on a fortnightly basis. While you don’t need to attend every session, the best outcomes will be achieved if we have regular attendance.
Thanks to the Ernest Hyam Davis & The Ted and Mollie Carr Endowment Trust for their support.
🧭 Navigating the System Conversations
Our Navigating the System sessions provide practical information about accessing disability support services and preparing for assessments. These follow the same approach as our earlier series, with updated content to reflect current changes.
