You never expect to hear the words, “Your child has a rare disease.”  Fear, uncertainty, and questions flood your mind—What does this mean? How will we get through this? Where do we even start? It’s overwhelming, emotional, and isolating.

Our licensed clinical social worker helps you process the emotional weight of a diagnosis, offering mental health support and connection to community resources. This service is designed to help families move from the initial crisis to a place of stability and confidence as they navigate the challenges of their child’s diagnosis.
