Being a parent is a rewarding experience, but it can be especially challenging when caring for a child with disabilities. The emotional, physical, and financial demands of caregiving can take a toll on parents’ mental health. This webinar, “Mental Health of Parents of Children with Disabilities,” aims to provide support, resources, and strategies for parents to prioritize their own mental well-being while caring for their children. It offers practical strategies and resources to manage stress, anxiety, and burnout, focusing on building resilience and coping skills. By participating, parents and caregivers will gain a deeper understanding of mental health challenges and learn practical strategies for managing stress and promoting well-being, ultimately empowering them to thrive while caring for their children. Together, we can build a supportive community that prioritizes parents’ mental health and well-being.
The NIDAS webinar creates awareness among people especially parents and caregivers of the individuals with disability, and thus provides a platform to share their concerns and clear doubts. For more than two years, NIDAS has been successful in creating awareness regarding various aspects of disability and associated issues.
