Today we honour the women who hold families together in ways the world rarely sees.
Because behind every supported SEND child is a woman who kept going... even when the system made it harder than it should have been!
Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible parent carers walking this journey with us!
For the women who wake already tired.
For the ones who start the day negotiating shoes, socks, breakfast, emotions, routines,
Knowing that what looks simple to the world can feel like climbing a mountain!
For the women who lift their children when their bodies are heavy,
Who soothe the meltdowns and hold the tears (theirs and their child’s!)
For the women who learn therapies they were never trained for,
Who chase appointments and sit in meetings and fight to be heard.
For the women filling out forms late at night when the house is finally quiet,
For the women who carry the worry, the planning,
the endless mental list of what their child needs.
You are the ones who get them dressed when mornings feel impossible.
You are the ones who make sure they feel safe in a world that doesn’t always understand them.
Most of the time, no one sees the weight you carry.
But we see you, and we're here for you,
One female parent carer to another,
You matter and you're doing your best,
Whatever your best looks like today,
You're still showing up when they need you most 🫶
