Personal resilience when caring for a PDAer – part 1

Part of the PDA Society podcast series. Part One of each podcast is free to access with our free subscription, while Part Two offers a deeper dive and is available exclusively to paid monthly and annual subscribers.

This free episode introduces the theme of resilience in the context of caring for a PDA child.

Rachel Crutcher shares her personal experience of parenting and how she has developed resilience along the way. Together, we explore what resilience means, some of the research behind it, and the qualities that help it grow over time.

Rachel also reflects on how she copes during particularly difficult moments, and how she has stayed resilient while navigating her child’s journey through healthcare and education.
