Tips & Tools to help you deal with challenging situations
Issues come in many shapes and sizes: Anxiety, friends, parents, self-esteem... each can bring their own set of challenging situations.
The inspiration for this website comes from seeing the power and hope parents get from talking to each other in our weekly support group meetings. Magic happens in those spaces. Parents who arrive with sadness, nerves, and more questions than they can carry leave smiling and expressing hope. They feel less alone in the world. Because of that, we want to bring that power of connection to everyone
