What families tell us

Quotes from parents, carers and siblings we have worked alongside.

  • The parent support group has been a lifeline for me, just being able to be with other parents who get it.

    Parent

  • It is amazing to be able to speak to other parents freely without being judged, and knowing that I am doing things right.

    Parent

  • I go to a sibling group every other week and it's one of my favourite things to do. It helps me relax and forget about the worries I sometimes have.

    A sibling

  • JSENSE's support has helped the whole family, not just my child. You are amazing.

    Parent

  • Thanks so much for your amazing support. What an amazing organisation. We are so lucky to have you in our community.

    Parent

  • We would have continued fighting for our child's needs, but it would have had no impact. We got nowhere alone until JSENSE became involved. It has been an amazing help; my child is a different child. JSENSE has saved our whole family.
