How can you get support while caring for a child with special health care needs?
If you are caring for a child who has special health care needs, it may be helpful to get support for yourself.
Think about joining a support group in your area, or even online. Support groups can be a source of emotional support for you and your child. These groups can help you connect with other parents who have a child with the same condition. They can also help you learn what resources you can find in your area.
You may also find counseling useful. A counselor can help you understand and manage the wide range of emotions you may feel.
