Creative Coping
A Site for Special Families
Do you have a child with special needs or have special needs yourself? Need tips on how to cope and manage the stress of juggling the daily needs of your family and all of the medical, emotional. and financial issues you face?
You've come to the right place. This idea started when I realized how few places there were that focused on the "coping" side of raising medically challenged children. I remember asking our pastor many times, "Do you know other people who have chronically ill children? HOW do they cope? Am I normal? " I never did get an answer.
There are many ways one can choose to cope. The purpose of this website is for parents, children and adults affected by any chronic illness or any special needs to have a place to come together and share ideas.... creative ideas on how to cope. Want to submit poetry? Does your child want to write about how he deals with his illness or special needs, or do you want to write about how you cope with your own illness or your child's? This is the place to share it.
Please keep in mind that this website is a work in progress! I hope to see it grow to a place where families can find info about the various diseases, but also link to one another and gain strength and hope through interaction and the sharing of stories. There are a group of parents who have come together in hopes to get this off the ground. If this is your first visit, please check in again to see what is new and how the site has changed. The website will be continually updated. We have a few links on places you can shop to support the various diseases. If you have other links, please send an email.
