We have a thriving community of families in similar situations. If you’d like to interact with them, we’d be happy to add you as a member on our WhatsApp channel. Depending on community members’ needs, we are open to conduct community wide online meetings once in a while. Or you could also simply subscribe to our YouTube channel where apart from getting regular updates on the new episodes, you could interact with other subscribers via YouTube’s community section.

Not really. Most of these challenges that families face are common globally. When you put comments with questions that can only be answered in a country specific context, we’ll let you know and encourage you to find solutions accordingly.
