Child Illness & Special Needs
 
When parents are faced with an infant or child crisis, they often need to deal with emotional, spiritual, medical, physical, intellectual, financial, and practical issues. When the fantasy of parenting a “perfect” child and a “normal” child is shattered, the nightmare of reality can be overwhelming. Only another parent who has undergone a similar situation can share the depth of this trauma.

Emotions can be overwhelming and the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty can leave parents desperate for information. We offer resources and contacts with other parents who can help.
