Parent and carer workshop on genetic neurodevelopmental conditions

Join MDAA and Nurture NextGen for a half-day workshop for parents and carers of children with a genetic neurodevelopmental condition. This session will help shape a digital tool for families learning about a child’s genetic diagnosis.

The workshop will explore what families want from practical and balanced information, including ways to recognise strengths, understand possible challenges, and support a more informed and hopeful path forward.

Location:
MDAA Head Office, 10–12 Hutchinson Street, Granville NSW 2142
Included:
Snacks, lunch, and a $180 gift card for your time

Registration before the event day is essential.
