Parents and Carers have little time to think of themselves whilst caring for special needs children or a disabled, sick and dependant relative.
Peggy Newton, CADCAF’s Family Support Worker, is available to offer families support through home visits.
Home visits provide consistent regular support, they can give Parents/Carers an opportunity to be really listened to, it can provide a time to problem solve, action plan or to share worries and stress with a non-judgemental ear. There are many reasons why home visits can be a beneficial form of support. As Parent or Carer of a child with special needs: - You may be experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.
- You may like support around the time of your child’s diagnosis
- You may have a difficult period due to Major/minor operations or ongoing medical care.
- You may be experiencing a transition of change as your child grows.
- You may have a number of children to care for alongside your special needs child.
Feeling really listened to can help relieve stress and move you towards feeling more able to think about your priorities, decisions and choices, thus improving your own development, needs and future goals, leading to action planning if required.
