As part of The Hub, ACD Tas facilitates MyTime groups in Tasmania as part of the national program coordinated by the Parenting Research Centre, and funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
💬 What is MyTime? 💬
Being a parent or a carer is an important job. It’s easy to get caught up in looking after your child’s needs but looking after yourself is important too.
MyTime is a place where you can unwind and share ideas and experiences with others who understand.
MyTime is for all parents and carers of children under the age of 18, who need a higher level of care than other children. This might be because of disability, chronic medical condition, or other additional needs including developmental delay. MyTime members come from different backgrounds and their children have different abilities and needs.
The MyTime groups enable parents and carers to talk and catch up with each other, in a relaxed atmosphere. We understand the demands and rewards of caring for a child with a disability or chronic medical condition.
😃 MyTime Face to Face Groups 😃
Facilitators work with group members, helping them get to know each other and learn more about the services and supports in their area.
Members choose what they would like to discuss in their groups, with help from the facilitator. The facilitator might guide group activities or provide resources depending on what the group wants to do.
You can join your usual MyTime or alternative groups if the time/day suits you.
ACD Tas Face to Face MyTime groups are held in New Town, Hobart, Howrah, Ulverstone, and Devonport
