We are grateful to all the clinicians and caregivers who help our families, however we recognize that being able to connect with someone who has a similar lived experience is incredibly important.

Since our inception we have collaborated with experienced parents, health care providers and hospitals, all sharing a common goal of training individuals to provide peer support and run parent groups in Canada’s hospitals and communities.
