Navigating the challenges of parenting a child with a disability requires resilience and self- compassion. By understanding the roots of burnout and implementing practical coping strategies, parents can create a nurturing environment for both themselves and their children. It's a journey filled with both triumphs and tribulations, and by prioritising self- care and building a strong support network, parents can find strength in their resilience.

While being a support worker is highly rewarding, it is vital that these individuals take steps to protect their own mental health and prevent burnout. When it is your job to provide care to others, you must make time to care for yourself too!
