What previous attendees have said:
'I didn’t know what to expect going into today, and if I’m honest, I very nearly talked myself out of coming. I felt an overwhelming sense of fear, worried that attending might leave me feeling worse, or open up a daunting picture of what the future could look like for my son. But I’m struggling to find the words to express just how much today has changed my outlook. I feel genuinely empowered to support him and to advocate for the referrals he so deserves.'
