Sharing Your Journey
|
A new program at PHP will provide parents of children with recently diagnosed or suspected conditions a 6 week parent education, information and support program called "Sharing the Journey". In addition to obtaining a better understanding of the road they are on and the emotional processes they face, parents will learn about available community supports, navigating social service systems and will be provided with a tool for understanding systems of care and organizing their child’s medical, educational and other documents (Medical Homes Notebook). The goals of the Sharing the Journey workshop are to educate, support, and empower parents of children dealing with a new diagnosis or who are entering unfamiliar systems of care. The aim of the program is to help them build links and learn to navigate community support systems, while having the opportunity to meet and interact, support and learn from other parents. We hope that you will consider joining one of these sessions and getting to know both PHP and other families facing a similar journey.
