22qMinded Parents

Coaching and Support

Parents of children with 22q often feel constantly stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. Despite this, their own well-being is often overlooked.

Traditional support usually focuses on helping parents manage their child’s condition through education and family counselling. While these are valuable, they often only address the parent’s role as a caregiver, not their personal emotional needs. Intensive care demands can affect every aspect of a parent’s life, including relationships, work, finances, and social activities, and may come with feelings of grief and loss.

At 22qMinded International, we recognise both aspects. We provide comprehensive support that not only offers knowledge about 22q but also acknowledges the challenges of parenting a child with this condition. By fostering curiosity, awareness, and providing valuable insights, we help parents manage stress and embrace their journey with renewed confidence and positivity, ensuring that both they and their child thrive together.
