This membership group is here to help.

I have set up this membership because I am contacted by parents who just don’t know where to turn. They are in overwhelm, stressed & feel unheard & sometimes not believed about what struggles their children (& them) go through every day. Trying to access education, get a diagnosis, figure out EHCPs, locate funds, constant emails to school, meetings about attendance, trying to be an advocate for their child, not knowing where to get help & in all this trying to keep themselves well so they can support their child.

The system is hard to navigate, & often doesn’t fit our children who don’t fit in the box. All the reasons are valid for our children & us as their parent. All we want is what is best for our child. Often though this is a challenge, & we find ourselves in an isolating position as many friends & family don’t understand.

I am a mum to 3 children & my step son. My children are neurodiverse, 2 with diagnosis, one without. I have been on a journey for the last 12 years navigating the system for their differing needs. I have become an advocate for them within the education system.

As a family we have dealt with many of these issues & more which can be crippling & have an affect on the whole family. I have had successes, many challenges & some break throughs in this time. I have also had very dark isolating times where I have found it hard to see a way forward. I have watched my child become very unwell with mental health issues. These journeys are still continuing. I found comfort in knowing that I wasn’t alone. Finding like minded parents, who had shared experiences helped this immensely.

Through my experiences I feel I can help others navigate this & gain some understanding of the issues our young people are facing. I have discovered that this is not only about my children’s wellbeing but it is also about my own. I have to look after myself, so I can be there for them. When I don’t, things are even harder for all of us.
