Welcome to the Finding A Way video series. These six brief positive psychology talks are designed for parents of children with severe epilepsy that persists over a long time. In one sense they may be of help for any parent who has a seriously ill child. However, they are specially prepared with parents of young children with very serious brain disorders in mind.
The Finding A Way series aims to go a small way to bridge the gap between the language of medical science and the language of our personal experience as parents. The talks reflect different voices, and different stages in the journey shared by families, including the joys and heartache experienced when caring for children with severe epilepsy. No two illnesses are the same and no two families are the same. Nevertheless, we hope you find the simple suggestions throughout the series helpful.
