No one knows your child like you do. Yet when you’re sitting with doctors, teachers, or professionals, it can be easy to doubt yourself.

This session is about recognising the wisdom you already carry, the deep knowing that comes from love, experience, and being by your child’s side every day. Together, we’ll talk about how to trust your gut and speak up when something doesn’t feel right, because you are the expert when it comes to your child.

In this peer group we’ll explore
• Why your insight and intuition matter most
• How to find your voice when communicating with professionals
• Ways to advocate with confidence and calm

This group is facilitated by Pam
