Topic: Rebuild, Renew, and Rise: Reclaiming Yourself While Caring for Your Child As parents, it’s easy to lose ourselves in the daily demands of raising and caring for children with disabilities and/or exceptional needs. Our world can shrink, pulling us away from community, family connections, and even our own sense of identity. Together, let's start finding our way back by reclaiming who we are: a person, a parent, and a member of an amazing caregiver community!
