TRAINING

It takes a village to raise a child. What does it take to raise one with special healthcare needs? Add another village to complicate coordination further or hone skills to effectively utilise available resources?

​

The training aims to help parents and caregivers:-

• Identify healthcare needs of the child, how they are being met

• Identify service gaps and ways to narrow them

• Understand the family’s rights and dispel myths about the child being a burden to the family or the society

• Develop ways to advocate for the child in healthcare and education settings

• Develop self-care plans that are achievable and effective together with a supportive community who truly understand the challenges
