Emotional Support for Parents
Background & Summary
Parenting can be emotionally exhausting, especially when managing a child’s additional needs, behavioral difficulties, or educational challenges. Many parents experience stress, guilt, or frustration, particularly when they feel unsupported by schools, local authorities, or social services.
Parents may struggle with:
Feeling overwhelmed by their child’s educational journey.
Experiencing burnout from constant advocacy and support.
Balancing self-care while ensuring their child’s needs are met.
