For most parents and caregivers, our lives are dedicated to creating an environment where our children can grow and achieve their full potential.
At the Children’s Hospital Foundation, we are on a mission to ensure every child has every chance to thrive.
Join us as we tap into our incredible network of experts - from healthcare professionals and researchers to community leaders and advocates - to share their practical tips and proven strategies to help kids overcome obstacles and reach their dreams.
Together, we can empower the next generation with the resilience, support and opportunities needed to succeed.
Every child deserves to feel seen, heard and valued. Yet for many disabled and neurodivergent children, the world often asks them to shrink, adapt or mask parts of who they are just to fit in.
This episode explores what it means to build confidence and resilience in disabled and neurodivergent children, and how other children can become thoughtful and self-assured allies and create environments where everyone belongs.
Seven News Presenter, Sarah Greenhalgh, is joined by Paralympian and World Record holder, Brenden Hall, Founder of Expand Your Library, Jenae Tien and Children’s Hospital Foundation family ambassador, Bec Reed, to discuss bridging the gap between awareness and allyship, and how families, schools and communities can help children living with disability and neurodivergence to thrive.
