You do not need
the perfect words.
Start with one thing you would like help with. It might be a daily routine, a question about your child, or finding the right service.
- 01
Say what is happening.
“We are looking for a little support with…” is enough to begin. Share what you feel comfortable sharing.
- 02
Ask how support works.
Who is the program for? Where does it happen? Is there a cost? Ask about languages, interpretation, and scheduling.
- 03
Leave with one next step.
Ask who to contact, what to bring, and when to expect a response. Keep the program’s name and contact details somewhere easy to find.
