Parent Forums

It just so happens we offer a parent forum for you that is one click away!

If you're looking for other options, we have found illness-specific online forums through Facebook, our specialist/medical provider (doctor or hospital where your child receives care), or a general internet search.
​

Support Groups
Trust us when we say there's a support group for you. In person, virtual, whatever you want. Again, your specialist/medical provider may have a local support group you can join. Similar to forums, there are many online resources to find a group that is right for you. Start with a foundation devoted to your child's illness. Explore the National Alliance for Caregiving resources. Mental Health America also offers a fantastic listing of a range of support groups, including several for caregivers.
