This supportive program begins with a brief, informative discussion of chronic illness in children and the unique emotional, practical, and relational challenges faced by parents and caregivers. We will also explore how therapy can be used as a helpful tool to strengthen coping skills and improve quality of life for both children and those who care for them. The program will then transition into a longer sharing and connection space, where participants are invited to share their experiences, challenges, and insights in a warm, supportive, and understanding environment. The goal is to foster connection, reduce isolation, and create a space where caregivers feel heard, validated, and supported. This program will be facilitated by Alix Kramer, LCSW (IL) / LICSW (MA):   Alix is a mental health therapist who works exclusively with clients with chronic health conditions at her therapy practice, Road Back Therapy. She provides CBT, ACT and hypnotherapy as well as general talk therapy to help those with chronic illnesses increase quality of life and improve coping.
