We’re back in the studio with Teresa and Pauline for an episode that is a bit different from the topics we've covered recently.
This time, we’re joined by Clinical Psychologist and former Kiind team member, Lucy Moran, to talk about the grief many parents and carers experience when their child receives a diagnosis of a disability or chronic health condition.
Lucy is passionate about supporting people to create positive change. With experience across private practice, government health services, and the disability sector, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation.
Alongside Kiind Conversations host, Teresa and Hospital Support Officer, Pauline, Lucy explores how receiving a diagnosis can bring feelings of grief and change for families in different ways.
Join Teresa, Pauline, and Lucy as they share practical strategies to support parents and carers on their journey of grief and positive acceptance.
