JOURNEY

Are you a Special needs parent at your wits end?

Do you have more questions than answers?

Meet Hannes

I was there once too and I remember the hopelessness that comes with not knowing why I am here and what to do next.

You are not alone!

The Award-winning Ashes to Diamonds program is specifically designed to help parents with special needs children to move from Surviving to Thriving. This interactive group program:

  • heals hearts,
  • restores relationships,
  • saves lives,
  • and builds communities.

Parents provide the environment for their children to thrive in. By supporting struggling parents, we provide these children the best chance to become the best they can be.

We start with breaking the isolation many special needs parents feel, by building community. And we infuse parents with hope, through sharing success stories. We coach parents on how to make the community part of their journey and to build a winning team.

Then we “slow down, to speed up”.

Parents discover for themselves that giving and serving from an empty cup is toxic to them and the people around them. Giving from an overflowing cup nourishes themselves and the people around them. This paradigm shift in week one, makes all the difference!

We connect parents with the leading medical experts in treating special needs children, focusing on solving the root causes of issues not just treating the symptoms. The medical needs of special needs children are extremely complex and unique, each child needs a holistic and customized approach to care.

Parents feel empowered, rejuvenated and develop a practical plan and support system to see it through.

Did you know?

The divorce rate of special-needs parents are currently in the high 80% just because of the immense pressure these parents have to endure. These parents need to create a great environment where their special-needs children can thrive in… by restoring the relationship we protect the children.

We help special needs families move from surviving to thriving
