Welcome
Real Support for Dads Navigating SEND
Peer-led support, practical resources, and a place to recharge.
When you’re a male carer, life often feels like a series of battles—for diagnosis, for schooling, and for your child’s future. SENDS 4 Dad is here to give you the tools and the network to handle it all.
We move away from the “clinical” and get straight to what matters:
Building the resilience you need to support your family
Connecting with a network of local dads.
Learning from experts and those further down the road.
What to expect at a SENDS 4 Dad event?
- Understanding and Empathy: We get it. As dads of children with disabilities, we face unique situations. Whether it’s navigating medical appointments, advocating for our kids, or celebrating their achievements, we’re here for each other.
- Practical Tips and Resources: Our group shares practical advice, from managing daily routines to accessing community services. We’ve got tips on everything from sensory-friendly outings to creating inclusive playtime.
- Emotional Support: Sometimes, you just need someone who understands. Our dads group provides emotional support during tough times and celebrates victories together.
- Connecting with Others: You’re not alone. Connect with fellow dads who’ve walked similar paths. Share stories, swap strategies, and find camaraderie.
- Guest Speakers and Workshops: We invite experts to discuss relevant topics, such as legal rights, financial planning, and self-care. Learn from professionals and ask questions.
