Get Services from the CEDCircle of Parents - Support for Families
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 a monthly in-person group that is a collaboration between the WVU CED and the Augusta Levy Learning Center.
