A Lifeline for
Medical Parents
Welcome to The Medical Parent Network
Where Caregivers Find Strength, Support, and Community.
Feeling isolated is one of the biggest struggles Medical Parents face. We're building an online community space so that you never have to feel alone, or judged, on your journey.
Your First Steps to Support
Break Free of Isolation
Parenting a medically complex child can feel lonely, but you don’t have to do it on your own. Connect with others who “get it” and find real understanding and encouragement.
Reclaim Your Energy
Exhausted from juggling the demands of parenting a medically complex child? Find strategies, resources, and encouragement to help you recharge and regain balance in your life.
Ease the Chaos
When everything feels like too much, it’s time to take a breath. Learn practical tools and receive support to help you manage the chaos, find clarity, and create calm in your day-to-day life.
Being a Medical Parent is overwhelming.
This ebook helps you breathe a little easier.
About Us
My name is Michaela, and I'm a Medical Parent.
I'm a former occupational therapist and Medical Mom. I started The Medical Parent Network to help parents like you navigate their childrens' diagnosis, care, and the everyday challenges of a medically complex life, with the knowledge that no matter how it feels, you're never alone.
Supporting and Uplifting Parents
This community was born out of my desire to help parents like you feel less alone and more supported. It is the space I prayed for when I started this journey.
Who We Are
We are parents, and caregivers with advice, experience, knowledge, and stories to share. We know that medical parenting is a unique journey, and we're here to help make the harder days just a little bit easier.
What We Do
We meet regularly to share both our challenges and victories in medical parenting. And we inspire one another as we navigate the complexities of medical parenting, ensuring that no parent feels isolated in their caregiving journey.
