ABOUT US
Do you seek for any resources regarding your children’s special needs?
Do you want to share your concerns about your children’s developmental delay with someone?
Feel isolated from society due to disabilities, languages or cultural barriers?
Do not know how to deal with these all as parents who have a child with special needs or individuals with special needs?
Do not know how identify yourself as individuals with special needs?
Cannot share your feelings as individuals with special needs?
Have you ever felt like this before?
Do you take all your concerns on yourself?
We have had a similar emotional journey, just like you. We provide you peer mentoring support as peers walking through similar experiences. We believe the power of sharing as peers just because we have been there too, although the individuals experiences are bit different.
We are not here for you to provide medical or psychological care as professionals. We are here for you to give you listening ears empowering each other.
---“you are not alone”.
This is what we strongly believe in our community. You are not alone!
