Not quite the way I expected
admin April 14th, 2008
So I started this blog and figured every day I would be able to at least type a few lines and give people something good to read. Instead I have been living in stomach flu hell and all my good intentions have been temporarily uprooted.
I should start by introducing FKMAD and let you know a little bit about the upcoming meeting in May. I was looking for a support group for parents of children with Social Anxiety and in a nutshell could find nothing. So if you can’t find it…create it. I found through the wonderful internet a non-profit organization called “FKMAD” (families of kids with mood and anxiety disorders). Their philosophy on helping the family as a whole and being a resource for support is exactly what I wanted to acheive. I took on the responsibility of being the first group in Ontario. The intention is to meet every month or so and have an open forum for parents/caregivers so that they are able to find resources, friendship and a sense of strength. Your child does not have to have a firm diagnosis either; if you suspect any signs of anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder or any other mood disorder you are more than, welcome.
Let’s face it raising children is never easy…especially when other issues are involved. So please think about coming to our meeting and if you have a chance check out FKMAD’s site at www.fkmad.org.
