Group Meeting - Raising Children While Disabled

3rd Floor, 25 West Main Avenue,Spokane WA 99201

21 February, 2023

Description

Are you a parent with a disability? This group is for parents who also have a physical, psychological, cognitive, or neurological disability, any visible or invisible disability or impairment. Parents who have children of any age are welcomed. There is an estimated 4.1 million parents in the United States who have disabilities. One of the most alarming barriers to parenting for people with disabilities is the increased risk of having custody of a child challenged or removed based on bias regarding a parent’s disability status. This is a particular concern for poor parents who cannot secure private legal counsel, as well as parents with highly stigmatized disabilities such as intellectual or psychiatric disability. This group is designed for parents to find resources, information, and peer support from those who have lived experience raising their children while disabled. This meeting is scheduled to coincide with Game Night to aid in child care. Join us for Game Night for some fun and a chance to connect with other young people! Play some games, win some prizes.
