Parental Support
Family Room
Our Family Room is a lovely colourful and comfortable place for parents and families to meet up before or after an appointment or class – or anytime during the day!
Counselling
Counselling is offered by a panel of accredited Psychotherapists. Support is available for any adult client/parent/carer/family member who feels they could benefit. It is possible to contact our therapist confidentially to discuss counselling support by emailing her directly on counselling@hub21.ie
Coffee Mornings
Parents of children with Down Syndrome in the North East region are invited to come to our centre for an informal chat and coffee. This is a great opportunity for you to meet other parents in a relaxed environment, enjoy a well-deserved cuppa and treat while your little ones can play and make new friends. Any of our Therapists may also be here to answer any questions you may have. Grandparents/carers also welcomed too and younger children if that's easier with childcare.
