Resources and Community for the special needs parent
Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
One thing that I know well, is resources, and another is finding and growing community. So we're gonna get into that. My therapist, she said, Camille, I'm impressed with you. She said, You are so resourceful, and you have the gift of problem solving. And I said, Wow, I've never thought about that. And so I realized that maybe some people may not know when I'm going to share. So I'm going to just start sharing resources. If you are a parent, and you have a child, and you think there may be some delays, I spoke about this on a previous podcast, but there is something called early intervention. And that is a program that exists all throughout the United States. It's called something different in every state, I know up north where I'm from, it's called Birth to Three. Down here in Texas, it's called something different, but every state has it. And what early intervention is, is a list of it's a place of resources for your child, they can have speech therapy, sometimes occupational therapy, different things to work with them to get them on the level that they should be on developmentally, before there's ever a diagnosis. And many children who receive birth for three services don't even need have a need for a diagnosis after not because of the early intervention, just because they may have never had a disability, they just might have needed someone to work with them along the way. And so you can find out who that is in your area by using Google or 211. Google, and 211 are my favorite resources. Very simple to access to one one, you pick up your phone in the United States and Canada, and you dial 211 It's a UNICEF number, but it is going to put you in touch with someone who can give you the resources you need around your area. So say you're looking for respite, respite care in your area, and you have no idea how to get started, how to find someone that can help you with your child or your adult. You find respite. Respite is relief for the caregiver. So it's a short period of time of rest or release relief for the caregiver. This means say you have a teenager or a 19 or 20 year old, you're not able to leave your child with anyone or your adult with anyone you are their primary caregiver. But you have to go on a trip for work. Now what?

Mental Health: Let’s prioritize it.
Wednesday Sep 21, 2022
Wednesday Sep 21, 2022
Every Monday, my social media networks, I've been very consistent about talking about mental health. And my stories, I have made it a mission. To make it mental health Mondays, I share articles, I share tips, I share different things that help parents raising children with disabilities. I know what I experienced, and I'll talk about that a little bit. Raising a child with a disability, it is beautiful. Our children are amazing. But because many of us have different diagnose diagnosis, the load is heavier from for some people than others. Nonetheless, study show. There are numerous studies that I've read one particular I was reading today, I normally read studies from different colleges around the United States. But today this morning, I was even reading one from the UK. And they all say that parents raising children with disabilities experience depressive symptoms and anxiety higher than parents raising children, typical children. This article was interesting to me because it also pointed out, they experienced reduced income, reduced employment, distress, and they have a significantly higher odds of being diagnosed have a mental health problem than other parents. I found it very alarming as I started reading, because myself I experienced anxiety. I can't say that it was all attributed to being a parent of a child with a disability because I have trauma. We all at some point or another. Well, a lot of us have gone through some level of trauma in our lives. And as I began to go to therapy, I realized that this was just adding more pressure to life. But it was also you know, bringing up trauma that I actually needed to do with and dig into. And so, nonetheless, here we are with mental health Monday, and I give tips every Monday. So I want to start with some ways that you can prioritize your mental health.

Families raising children #Together
Wednesday Sep 14, 2022
Wednesday Sep 14, 2022
I know many of you may have just found the podcast or maybe this may even be your first time listening to any episode. But this is actually year four of the podcast, something new and interesting is happening right now. It's a rebrand. And so when I started the podcast, I was geared towards one group of women, we pivoted into being for mothers. And now I am pivoting again, to be a podcast that is suited for my community online. In 2021, December of 2021, I went viral for a post, encouraging parents raising children with disabilities. And what that did was it brought a floodgate of parents from all around the world, to my platform. And so now I am giving my community what they need. And that is a podcast. So here we are. And so if this is your first time, welcome, I call my listeners MVPs.
I really want to talk about family. This is one of the biggest topics, one of the biggest pain points for all of us that we talked about. And I think it comes from both sides. I hear from family members who have children with any diagnosis, and they say, How can I get my family to come to a place of acceptance, support and understanding for my child who has a child with a disability and for my family? And then I have the other side? Who are family members and they say how can I get my family member to you know, maybe see a diagnosis, how can I get my family member to receive more support? How can I be there for my family member? So I want to speak to each side of that and and first let's go to the side of the family member who's seeking to support the individual who is a parent raising a child with a disability. I think as I was thinking about this earlier, one of the best things that you can do is asked that family member How can I support you?

Wednesday Apr 20, 2022
Today I have a treat. I'm chatting with a beautiful mom, Ida of to every mom.
Ida, similar to the majority of the adults that joined the Tiktok in 2020, was reluctant at first. However, when she heard a famous podcaster say, "If you don't have an audience, you don't have a business, and Tiktok is the place to grow an audience", she immediately made her way to the app to see what she could build.
She now has a community of almost 300,000 across Tiktok & Instagram and is still growing strong. She is now a Speaker, a Bestselling Author and a Tiktok & Instagram Reels Coach. She has helped other entrepreneurs, medical practitioners, social media influencers, authors and more, grow their audiences and promote their products using the strategies that propelled her to where she is today.
Ida has over a decade in traditional and online marketing experience working in organizations in both the U.S and the United Kingdom.
