MyTime Việt offers a warm and supportive environment specifically for Vietnamese-speaking parents and carers of children with disabilities, developmental delays, or neurodivergence aged 0-18 years. Facilitated by Vy Phan, these informal peer group sessions provide a relaxed space to connect, share experiences, and support one another.
Sessions often include friendly conversations and may feature guest speakers on topics that matter most to members. This is a chance to meet others who truly understand your journey and find encouragement in a community setting.
Whether you attend online or in person, you can take a break from appointments and therapy to relax in a way that suits you.
The group meets fortnightly on Thursdays during the school term, with sessions running from 10:00 to 12:00 AEST. The upcoming sessions are scheduled for 5 February, 19 February, 5 March, 19 March, and 2 April 2026.
This program is designed for parents, primary carers, and family members of children aged 0-18 years with disabilities or developmental concerns. Childminding is available upon request by contacting the organisers.
Participation is free of charge, making it accessible for families seeking peer support without financial burden.
In-person sessions are held at Plumtree Children’s Services, located at Yabsley Avenue, Jarvie Park, Marrickville, NSW 2204. For those unable to attend in person or living outside Sydney, the group is accessible online.
During registration, participants can select their preferred attendance mode (online or in person), ensuring flexibility and inclusivity.
Plumtree is a trusted community organisation with 40 years of experience supporting families, providing a safe and culturally sensitive space for Vietnamese-speaking families.
If this is your first time registering, you will need to complete a membership registration to join MyTime. Returning members do not need to re-register but should notify the facilitator of their attendance via email.
Sessions are conducted in Vietnamese by Vy Phan, the Vietnamese Family Support Worker at Plumtree, ensuring culturally appropriate support.
For families requiring childminding services during sessions, please get in touch in advance to arrange support.
