When parents go through a traumatic circumstance such as the unexpected birth of a premature baby, a serious illness or the loss of a child, parent associations can become a great support.
The contact with other parents who have passed or are living the same situation makes them see that they are not alone in the face of the problem while helping to find comfort from someone who really understands them because they have felt the same fears, doubts and emotions .
Volunteering between families is a way to help and be helped, as parents who approach associations find a refuge to raise their problems while parents who give their time and dedication find meaning in the experiences they have lived.
In the network you can find a wide range of foundations and associations composed of parents who offer their help as well as very interesting and nurtured forums where to share experiences with other parents.
We find from breastfeeding support associations, associations for parents of large families, forums for parents of premature babies, for single parents, for parents of children with congenital diseases and also associations created by parents who have lost a child.
I do not want to name them because I will surely leave some outside, but if you dive in our blog you will find that we have talked about some of them. I have compiled all related posts in the links below.
If you are going through a difficult situation and need support, do not hesitate to contact other parents. Sharing the problem is the first step to begin to overcome it.
