For medical parents
A lifeline for medical parents
Where caregivers find strength, support, and community.
Welcome to The Medical Parent Network
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.
Where to begin
Your first steps to support
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
You're not broken. You're overloaded.
And you're not the only one carrying it.
FREE EBOOK
Being a medical parent is overwhelming. This ebook helps you breathe a little easier.
ABOUT
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 children's diagnoses, care, and the everyday challenges of a medically complex life, with the knowledge that no matter how it feels, you're never alone.
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."
