Mamaya Health Support Group for Parents of Kids with Disabilities

Virtual Support Group for Parents of Kids with Disabilities by Mamaya Health
Group Overview:
Mamaya Health’s virtual, peer-led support group for parents of children with disabilities is a compassionate space for moms raising children with physical, developmental, emotional, or neurodiverse needs. This one-hour, monthly session provides a supportive, understanding environment to share experiences, access resources, and find strength in community.

What Makes This Group Unique?

• Peer-Led and Lived Experience-Based: Facilitated by parents who understand the daily realities, joys, and complexities of raising a child with disabilities.
• Empowering and Inclusive: All diagnoses, experiences, and parenting styles are welcome. Whether your child is newly diagnosed or further along in their journey, you belong here.
• Rooted in Emotional Wellness: This group centers the mental health of caregivers, recognizing the emotional labor, advocacy, and love it takes to show up every day.

What to Expect in Each Session:

• Real Check-Ins: A chance to share what’s heavy or hopeful this month—or simply be present and supported**.**
• Supportive Conversations: Topics like navigating IEPs, caregiver burnout, finding services, complex medical needs, and celebrating small wins.
• Tools for Resilience: Learn stress-relief practices, self-advocacy tips, and gentle ways to care for your own well-being.
• Connection and Community: Build friendships with moms who “get it,” without needing to explain or justify your experience.

Who Should Join?
This group is for any mom parenting a child with disabilities, chronic illness, or neurodiversity. Whether your child has a formal diagnosis or you’re still seeking answers, you deserve support and community.

Logistics:

• Format: Virtual via secure video conferencing
