What is MyTime?
MyTime is the name of a program which sets up local facilitated peer support groups across Australia. Mothers, fathers or other family carers of a young child under school age with a disability, developmental delay or chronic medical condition can meet and:
- get to know each other
- learn from each other
- access and discuss up-to-date research based information in caring for a child with a disability or chronic medical condition
- link to their local community and find local support services.
MyTime groups bring families together, and encourage members to support each other. A play helper is provided to keep children busy and engaged so members can meet and talk with others.
