Helping you with the realities of parenting a child with special needs.
How do you help your child (either young or an adult) successfully navigate daily struggles? Are you taking time to take care of yourself? Caring for a person with special needs affects other parts of your daily life. Multi-tasking becomes much more complicated and stressful, when adding the additional responsibilities of going to doctor’s visits, other scheduled appointments and the overall care of your child/children. We will explore the impacts of having a child with special needs. What tools can you, as a parent, utilize to deal with the range of emotions and feelings you experience while helping your child learn how to manage the impacts of living with special needs. We will discuss these topics in a friendly, comfortable environment facilitated by a trained therapist.
What Will These Sessions Provide You?
Are you wondering what group therapy would look like? What are the benefits? No worries. Here they are:
• A place to discuss with others who share similar experiences, under the guidance of a trained therapist who can provide clinical interventions to help with your struggles.
• The feeling of relief knowing there are solutions, and you are “not alone”.
• Comfort of knowing others understand your daily trials and tribulations, are willing to listen, as well as provide needed and appropriate support to you!
