Teletherapy-Parents of Children with Special Needs
Parenthood is a challenge. For everyone. But when your child has special needs that challenge can feel overwhelming. Kids with special needs require more: more attention, more care, more patience, just more. Sometimes parents feel alone, like your situation is so different that others don’t get it. It can be exhausting. This is a group for you, the parents, to focus on yourself, your emotions, your struggles, your triumphs. If you’re looking to meet a group of supportive parents who are there with you as you share about your journey, this is the place for you, virtually.
