✨ Parenting a child with a disability is a journey filled with love, growth… and moments that can feel deeply isolating. But here’s the truth: none of us were meant to do this alone. 🌿

In our latest blog, we explore:
💛 Why connection matters more than perfection
💛 What a supportive “village” can really look like
💛 How to start building your own network of care
💛 The power of chosen family — and letting others in

Support can be chosen, created, and grown. Even a few steady, caring people can make all the difference. 💫

Why is co-regulation so important — not just in infancy, but across the lifespan?
If you’re raising or supporting someone with 22q, you might recognise the emotional highs and lows — not just in your child, but in yourself too. Staying calm in the chaos? It’s not always easy.

In our latest 💡 Let’s Talk About 💡 blog, we explore co-regulation across the lifespan — what it means, why it’s essential in 22q, and how therapists, parents, and children can work together to build emotional safety.

✨ Discover how small moments of connection — a breath, a gentle touch, a grounded presence — can help both parent and child feel supported, seen, and more regulated.

Join us for a short 22q Minded community seminar with clinical psychologist Dr. Linda Campbell and pediatric psychologist Dr. Sasja, exploring the diagnostic journey in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q).

First delivered at 22q11 Europe in Brussels (November 2025), this talk reflects on the emotions many families experience before and after diagnosis—from uncertainty and relief to grief and overwhelm—and shares practical, compassionate strategies to make everyday life feel more manageable.

We discuss navigating medical and school systems, supporting siblings, finding clear information, and building a “village” of support so you don’t have to carry it alone. 💛

💛 New on the Blog: Building Belonging in 2025 💛

What does belonging really mean for families raising a child with 22q?

This year, we listened closely to parents—and what they shared was powerful. From feeling seen by professionals to building their own support "village," families reminded us that belonging is about more than services… it’s about connection.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✨ What helped families feel understood
✨ How professionals can truly support connection
✨ Practical steps for families to build their own village of support

Whether you're a parent, educator, or clinician, this is a must-read reminder of the power of being present, curious, and kind.

You are not alone. 💚
Find your tribe.

Across the world, families and individuals living with 22q find strength in the communities that understand them — support groups, online spaces, advocacy organisations, and trusted professionals who walk the journey alongside them.

Connection doesn’t just offer comfort — it builds confidence, belonging, and hope.
The 22q community is wide, diverse, and full of people who get it.
There is always a place for you here.

As we wrap up 22q Awareness Month, we want to recognise everyone who has shared their stories, learned something new, supported others, or taken steps to build understanding.
✨ Awareness grows when we grow together.

Follow to stay connected throughout the year — and join our newsletter at www.22qminded.com for ongoing support, resources, and free tools for families, including our eBook Seeing the Whole Person. Also, check out our 2025 webinar series that can be accessed as live interactive sessions or on-demand recordings.
