Family Support
Rowell Family Empowerment has several support activities currently in place to help parents deal with the overwhelming emotional rollercoaster that coincides with having a child with a disability or special needs. You'll find our support activities offer more than just support, as you'll learn and interact with others in similar situations and at community events.
Those who attend support activities include those who need support, those who can help others and those who simply want to be involved. The majority of RFENC staff have children with disabilities ranging from autism to spina bifida, so we know how you feel and we know what you're going through. We are on the same road.
Our activities are often fun, encouraging and inspirational. And chances are good we have a group that's a perfect fit for you, whether you're looking for a Father's Group or a group of parents of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children.
