The United Way of Lamar County has created a Support Group for parents and caregivers of children with autism.
The group meets every third Thursday of the month at noon at the United Way office, located at 2340 Lamar Avenue.
The support group is facilitated by the UWLC Program Coordinator, Laura Smith, who has two autistic children.
“Parents really need an ‘out’ to talk to other people who can understand the challenges. Many parents who have autistic children feel very, very alone,” said Ms. Smith.
The June meeting is this Thursday, June 15th at noon. For more information, call the United Way office at 903-784-6642.
