Are you a parent caring for a child or young person with physical or mental health issues?

Are you struggling to get the right support not only for your child but for yourself as well?

Navigating the obstacles that come alongside caring for a child with additional needs can seem like a minefield. It can often feel like it is you against the whole world and it is so hard to know where to turn or what to do. Ali Jeffries was plummeted into this unknown world herself and knows only too well of the difficulties and heartache that parent carers can face. In this book Ali shares her experience and compassion through practical advice for anyone responsible for young people who need extra help.

She offers support and insight and gently holds the hands of those facing difficult situations with their own children. Ali helps parents avoid pitfalls and gives them confidence that whatever it is they are facing into; they do not have to do it alone. She also coaches parents in the importance of self-care, understanding only too well how important it is to look after yourself as well as the ones you are caring for.
