9 Week Nurture Group

The journey of parenting a neurodivergent or disabled child can be lonely, but by coming together with others who get it we can find strength, wisdom and the relief of feeling understood.

Murmuration gather parent carers into small supportive communities called nurture groups. We have an initial 1:1 session with each person, and then facilitate 8 group sessions. Once the course has finished, groups continue as they wish - meeting up, attending our free monthly gatherings, supporting each other via WhatsApp, or even getting together with their kids.

This parent carer nurture group will run on Wednesday afternoons 1-2:30pm.

It is for parents of children who are disabled or neurodiverse (diagnosed or undiagnosed) of any age.

What happens at a parent carer nurture group?

• Meet the same parents each week

• Share experiences

• Explore a different theme each session

• Learn how to relate to difficult emotions with self-compassion, so that they don't overpower us

• Nurture activities such as guided relaxations

Feedback from previous participants:

'Poppy and Naomi are amazing. I love them! We all laughed and cried our way through the sessions and learned a lot. If you are thinking of attending then do so! You won’t regret it!’

‘I have learned so much, more than I ever expected, and I’ve come away with an amazing group of friends who just ‘get it’

'100%, I am in a very different place on my journey now and feel a glimmer of hope for mine and my families future and knowing that it will be hard but we are not alone'

'Amazing hosts and wonderful Mum's who attended, the feeling of ultimate acceptance and understanding from all'

'What would I say to others? DO IT!!!! I have recommended this group to other parents that I know. I have gained so much from this and am so sad to see it end.'

'I would highly recommend the nurture group to help you feel more connected, understand all your complex emotions are valued and feel more control of the situation and your response to it.'

'Please do a Murmurations group...it's invaluable. It has helped make my considerable load feel a bit lighter.'
