World Mental Health Day 💚🧠
To the incredible parents of children with special needs — this one’s for you.
Being a parent is already a full-time job.
Being a parent to a child with special needs is a superpower, but even superheroes need support. 💪✨
Today on , let’s pause and recognise:
✔️ Your strength
✔️ Your resilience
✔️ Your sacrifices
✔️ Your emotional load
As an Occupational Therapist, I see the love and dedication you pour into every routine, therapy session, school meeting, and bedtime meltdown. But I also see the exhaustion, isolation, and quiet moments when you wonder if you’re doing enough.
💬 Here’s the truth:
You are more than enough.
And your mental health matters just as much as your child’s.
🧩 Take a break.
🧘♀️ Ask for help.
💬 Find your tribe.
💚 Be kind to yourself.
Let’s keep the conversation going. You are not alone.
📩 DM if you ever need resources, support, or just someone who gets it.
