What to Say when Someone Offers to Help
Jan 17, 2023 Episode 6
Emily K. Whiting and Ashlyn Thompson

Send us a text, we want to hear from you!

Many people say "let me know how I can help" or "call me if you need anything." They genuinely want to support you through your family's challenging situation but aren't quite sure how. And, let's face it, oftentimes we on the receiving end of the offer for help often don't know what support we need either. 

In this episode Emily and Ashlyn break down why accepting help is both incredibly hard and humbling, and simultaneously a critical aspect to not only surviving but also maintaining hope as we care for our children with medical complexities. They make it very clear—when someone asks if they can help, the answer is always YES! 

Emily and Ashlyn then list specific ways people can best help parents and caregivers of children with medical complexities.
