Hi @mendes12
My name is Beverley and I am a parent advisor for the Scope Navigate service.
Have you thought about the following?
Navigate provides a six week programme of online and telephone support to parents who have a child going through diagnosis, or who have a child who has recently been diagnosed with a disability. The aim is to provide parents with emotional and practical support that will help them build resilience as they start their journey as a parent of a child with a disability or impairment.
The link to the online referral form is below:

Our phones are also live from 9am - 8pm on Monday - Friday and 9am to 12pm on a Saturday.
I hope this helps.
