Care 4 the Caregivers

Hybrid- After the Diagnosis
2025-02-28 10:00 - 15:00 (America/Phoenix) | AZ
When parents get a disability diagnosis for a child, they aren’t given space to process the emotions that come with a diagnosis. Most go right to work. They start calling doctors and therapists. They start scheduling appointments, and they start figuring out how to navigate different systems of care.
They do it all without the emotional support they need After the Diagnosis.
Caregivers will learn:

to find meaning in the most challenging parts of their parenting journey
their thoughts influence emotions and behaviors
to take control of their thoughts to establish a new mindset
simple tips and strategies to make time for self-care
create goals for them and their child
to identify stress before it takes over

When : Feb 28th 10-3
