Validation and Emotional Support

No one really gets it. Sharing our experiences with others can provide a sense of relief, easing the emotional weight this illness brings. And most importantly, reminding us that we're not facing these challenges alone.

Knowledge

Along with validation, practical information is vital. Experienced parents are an invaluable resource; from advice on navigating systems to sharing practical information and resources.

Encouragement and Hope

Sometimes we can feel like things will never get better. We can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Giving encouragement and sharing the success stories is invaluable.

Looking at the View

Despite being located in different communities and countries, it's our shared experiences that unite us.
