TITLE: “Addressing the Health and Well-Being of the Parents of Children with Autism”
Parents of children with autism constantly search for methods to help their children and families in any way possible. According to Dr. Darren Sush, the stress, heightened responsibilities, tasks, and concerns about the manner in which they are raising their children can result in overwhelming anxiety, depression, self-doubt and sadness.
Dr. Sush believes that Autism Awareness Month should help bring awareness around the need for mental health support and resources for parents of children with autism – the ones that have to be strong for their children (which does not stop at age 18 like it does for some parents) but for the duration of their entire life.
Join us as we dive into a topic that gives answers to how parents and caretakers of children with autism can significantly benefit from the guidance, comfort and empathy of therapeutic services that support their unique experiences and struggles.
