Introducing Our New Online Community

We are thrilled to introduce you to The Letter C Community, a dedicated space to provide comprehensive support and resources for parents with children who have special healthcare needs. We understand that navigating the complexities of your child's unique circumstances can be both challenging and overwhelming. That's why we are here to lend a helping hand and guide you through this journey.

Special healthcare needs among children and youth cover a range of medical conditions, not just visible disabilities, and can range from diabetes to dyslexia. At The Letter C, we firmly believe that every child deserves the highest quality of care and the opportunity to thrive. More than 1 in 4 households with children have at least one child with a special healthcare need, and 1 in 4 of those children have a functional limitation that impacts daily life.

We recognize that parenting in general is a daunting-yet-rewarding task, but caregiving for children with special healthcare needs can be especially mentally, emotionally, and financially taxing. We are committed to empowering parents and caregivers by equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and emotional support needed to enhance their child's well-being and overall development. Our mission is to be your trusted partner– an online destination for every parent who has a child with special healthcare needs and to transform individuals through togetherness.

The Letter C Community is a safe and supportive space where parents can share experiences, lean on others, and learn strategies to shift perspectives.

Here are some of the key features and benefits we offer:

  • Information and Resources: We place the power in parents' hands by providing relevant information and resources. 
  • Peer Support Network: We prioritize community and help foster meaningful connections and relationships for parents with shared experiences.
  • Advocacy and Education: We are committed to advocating for the rights and well-being of children with special healthcare needs while empowering their caregivers.

Catering to a community of people as unique and important as this requires a passionate and personable connector. We are happy to introduce to you Barika Porter CPC, ELI-MP, who combines her years of leadership coaching, community service, and neurodivergent parenting as our community connector and host. 

“Community is integral to how we grow and support each other. In this community, we are creating spaces and experiences with other people who get it. The unexpected is a part of life. Community is what helps us to navigate the highs and lows. We welcome and need you here,” Barika Porter, The Letter C’s community host exclaims.

We are delighted to embark on this journey with you and your family. Together, we can ensure that children with special healthcare needs all over receive the care, support, and opportunities they deserve. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events, resources, and success stories from our community.
