The heart of We Are Brave Together is to strengthen, encourage, inspire
and validate all Special Needs Moms in their unique and difficult journeys.
“Special Needs Mom” means you are a mother caring for any age child or adult, with ANY TYPE of challenge -- be it medical, mental, behavioral, genetic, developmental, psychiatric, learning, cognitive, or physical.
The common thread here is how the members of the community can offer support and strength to one another.
Our hope is that each mother comes away from an event, gathering, retreat, or online exchange feeling
recharged and empowered knowing that she is NOT ALONE.
