Needham SEPAC Open Groups for Parents

Who is invited?

• This is an open group for all Needham parents and guardians of children and teens in special education, those students with IEPs or 504s, or with students starting the special education evaluation process.

What to expect:

• A welcoming, supportive space to connect with other parents and caregivers.

• Opportunities to share experiences and resources.

• A focus on building community connection and supporting parent well-being.

• Come to any or all groups, and participate in whatever way feels comfortable.

Please note:

• Participants are asked to keep information shared by others confidential.

• This is a parent support group, not a therapeutic group. If you need therapeutic resources, please reach out to the facilitator directly.
