Brachial Plexus Parent to Parent Support
One of the most meaningful sources of support can be another parent who has experienced parenting a child with a brachial plexus injury. Connecting with another parent can help you to feel more comfortable and optimistic about the future.
That’s why we created the Parent-to-Parent Program for our families. To help you:
- Connect with another parent who’s facing similar challenges
- Feel more confident and empowered about caring for your child
- Learn some practical, everyday tips from sharing your experiences with another parent
- Improve your awareness of other support services that can help you and your family
Will the Trained Support Parent Provide Me with Medical Advice?
No. The support parents are not medical professionals, so they will not be able provide you with any medical advice about your child’s condition. They will, however, be able to:
- Share their story
- Offer tips and suggestions for the day-to-day challenges you face
- Provide information about community and hospital resources
- Offer emotional and problem-solving support
How Will I Contact My Support Parent?
- Once you sign up for the Parent-to-Parent Program, you will be matched with a parent.
- The support parent will then contact you by phone to set up a time to talk.
- All contact with a support parent is by phone or email.
