Thank you for stopping by the Blog. In the next few weeks many things will be posted and written here and it is all very new and exciting.
Our daughter was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder back in 2005. Raising children is always a challenge but when you have a wonderful child that is just not adjusting to the world and you know that everyday life is a struggle you become an advocate for your child. Our daughter has come a very long way since than but that wouldn’t have happened without the wonderful help of a number of people. Between us the parents, the speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, family counsellor, cognitive behavioural therapist and well you get the idea, without these wonderful people we would not be where we are today. As a result of our good and bad experiences and our fight for what was right for our daughter I started 2008 off with a mission. I am sure that we are not the only family in the Greater Toronto Area who is dealing with the issues that we are; in fact I know we aren’t. Support for families and caregivers is so crucial for everyone’s survival and that’s exactly what I intended to do. This Blog is hopefully going to give parents/caregivers a chance to get together and share resources, success stories, obstacles and anything else that we feel we need to express.
Good things are to come…and I can’t wait!
