Circle of Parents - Support for Families

Circle of Parents Logo

Circle of Parents support groups provide friendly, supportive environments led by parents and other caregivers. It is a place where anyone in a parenting role can openly discuss the successes and challenges of raising children with special health care needs and/or disabilities. It is a place to share support.

Currently, there is a weekly virtual Circle of Parents group and two monthly in-person meetings available: a Wheeling group in collaboration with the Augusta Levy Learning Center, and an Eastern Panhandle group that has rotating locations. More details and registration info below.
