When parents reach out for help, they often start the conversation with apologies and explanations. They apologise for being tired, for needing a break, for seeking help. However, there's no need to apologise. Parents are amazing, loving, and dedicated, and they deserve all the support and rest they can get.
It's understandable that caring for a child with additional needs is a challenging and sometimes exhausting journey. Parents face a routine that is often physically and emotionally demanding, and it's completely natural for them to feel drained at times. But there's no shame in that. Needing time to recharge is natural.
Despite the fatigue, parents love their children more than anything in the world. Their words reflect the unconditional love they have for them. And this love is evident in every action they take to ensure their well-being and happiness. However, it's important to remember that taking care of themselves is also a way of taking care of their children.
When parents reach out for help, our Respite Care team doesn't judge their needs or concerns. Instead, we're here to offer support, understanding, and a helping hand. We're here to help them find the rest and renewal they so deserve.

With all our love and admiration,
