New parent support group starts this week!

Supporting the Pieces is a new parent support group for Garfield County parents and they are holding the 1st meeting this week! You may have seen group leaders Theresa Sharp & Helen Lazcano featured on last week's Community Talk or in the Life section of the Enid News & Eagle on March 30th.

The group is parent led and focused on true parent to parent support. Parents and caregivers whose children are on the autism spectrum, have sensory processing issues, or those with ADHD are encouraged to attend.

Anyone interested in learning more about the group should contact Theresa Sharp at 977-7479 or Helen Lazcano at 370-5081. The group will hold their first meeting this Thursday (April 17th) at Christ United Methodist Church (2418 W. Randolph, Enid) from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Activities will be available for children 5-12 while the parent group is meeting and childcare for younger children can be provided if requested in advance.
