“Until you have a kid with special needs you have no idea of the depth of your strength, tenacity and resourcefulness.”
Counseling Can Help Bring Peace & Understanding to The Unexpected
Experiencing life with someone who has special needs affects people in a variety of ways, and for the abled people who love and support disabled people, it can be hard to speak up when our mental health begins to suffer. The heartache and stress of learning your child will be, or is, disabled can be quite overwhelming. As someone who personally relates and has a child with a demanding disability, our owner YY Wei, is passionate about serving couples in similar situations.
It is extremely difficult being the parent of a special needs child, and it’s important to acknowledge and validate the struggle of abled parents supporting their children in this situation. At the Relationship of Colorado, we focus on navigating the initial news, finding resources and techniques, and processing the collective struggle to turn it into something celebration-worthy.
We wholeheartedly believe finding out your child has special needs is a blessing in disguise. Turn your worry into something wonderful together.
