Empowering parents of children with disabilities through psycho-educational activities

The empowerment of parents of children with disabilities presents a multidimensional challenge, requiring complex and personalised support. Research indicates that these parents experience significantly higher stress levels compared to parents of children without disabilities, due to additional responsibilities and the demanding nature of caregiving. Key challenges include social isolation, economic pressures, social stigma, and emotional difficulties, all of which affect the well-being of both parents and the entire family. Psycho-educational support programs have proven essential in helping parents manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience, ultimately improving their overall quality of life and family dynamics.
