We understand that parenting a neurodivergent child can feel overwhelming, and sometimes you just need to connect with someone who gets it.
Our WhatsApp Support Chat Groups are friendly spaces where families can share experiences, ask questions, and offer encouragement 24/7.
With over 800 families already involved, these groups are a lifeline for many parents and carers across Scotland. They provide instant, low-pressure support - whether it’s advice about navigating school, reassurance during a tough day, or celebrating a small but meaningful win.
Our groups are moderated by our WhatsApp Project Manager to make sure they stay welcoming, respectful, and inclusive.

Parents and carers tell us the WhatsApp groups help them feel less isolated, more confident, and better supported, knowing they are part of a community that truly understands.
This is peer support at its most accessible — available anytime, anywhere, and always grounded in kindness and shared experience.
