Normal is Overrated: How to Manage our Expectations as Caregivers While Adapting & Advocating- Workshop for Birth-Five Families.
2024-02-24 13:00 - 14:00 | PA
Workshop for Birth-Five Families.
As caregivers, we know there is no such thing as “normal”. However, we are often pressured to conform to society’s expectations, which can create a lot of stress for ourselves and our loved ones. As caregivers of children with disabilities, we can change our perspectives and take an alternative and equally valid pathway. On this pathway, we can support our children to feel truly accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are. Join us for this 1h virtual workshop as we discuss as we adjust our perspectives and redefine “normal” for ourselves, our loved ones with disabilities, and our families. You only have to register for one session. The recording will be sent to all those who register.
