Child Stroke Parent to Parent
Support Group
Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne
What we do
-
We provide a range of ways for parents to contact and support one another
- We provide simple information to parents about their child's illness, and about hospital
procedures
- We provide a link with other support groups and services
- We act as advocates for stroke families within the hospital and in the wider
community
- We perform fundraising activities to further our goals
How do we do these things?
- We have regular support meetings
- These provide the opportunity for parents to meet and talk to others,
informally, and in confidence.
- We provide a bi-annual newsletter
At our meetings we:
- Aim to learn something new and to talk about stroke
- Identify issues that we can discuss at future meetings according to
the members needs.
- Promote opportunities for all in the childhood stroke community to
participate in the ongoing development and improvement of the support
group.
- Actively seek input from particular groups e.g. rural families,
adolescents, CALD families, and community support organizations.
- Promote opportunities for partnership between consumers and hospital
staff.
- Ensure that outcomes are acknowledged and communicated to all.
