Unsure. Overwhelmed. Alone
This is how most families journey raising a child with disability begins.
Searching for answers. Long waiting lists. Endless paperwork, appointments and therapies. Systems that feel impossible to navigate. All while juggling family life, and the constant worry of doing enough for their child who needs support.
There’s no one in their lives who understand the unique challenges and emotional load. Too often, they’re left feeling isolated and uncertain, trying to figure everything out on their own.
At Belongside Families, we believe no family should begin their journey raising a child with disability alone.
We’re a family-led organisation, created by parents who understand what it’s like to navigate the unique joys and challenges of raising a child with disability, developmental delay, autism or complex needs.
We provide free parent groups, educational workshops, evidence-based programs, practical resources and one-on-one support to help families feel more supported, more connected, and more confident to navigate the journey ahead.
Help us walk alongside more families.
