As parents of children with special healthcare needs, we understand how busy and chaotic life can get. We also understand how easy it is to feel isolated, alone, and unsure. Our Virtual Support Group allows parents and care-givers across Minnesota to connect in a safe and supportive atmosphere to discuss the joys and challenges of raising a child with special he althcare needs. We share information, resources, and laughter! If you have a particular topic you would like to discuss, please email Jess and we will be sure to get it added to the agenda!

I don’t think I realized how much we got from those waiting room check-ins with other parents, hallway conversations with teachers and the comforts of an in-person doctor’s visit. We wanted to recreate these conversations virtually. We urge you to grab a cup of coffee and connect with others in the community. This group is open to parents, educators, providers, advocates and others involved in the care of children and youth with special health needs and disabilities. Join us for some casual conversation and to be connected. We will try to keep it short and sweet to 30 minutes but will also go with the flow of the group. See more details •	13
