Welcome to When Stopping Isn't An Option 🧡
I'm so glad you're here. Genuinely. If you've found this community, chances are you're a parent who has been fighting — for your child, for support, for someone to just listen — and doing it while running on empty. This is the place where you get to put some of that down. What this community is: A safe, judgment-free space for parents of children with additional needs who need support for themselves. Not forms advice (though feel free to chat amongst yourselves. I do support with advocacy work, but this is a mental health support space - feel free to DM me if you need guidance). Not meeting strategies. Just honest, warm, human connection with people who truly get it. You can vent here. You can celebrate tiny wins here. You can say the things you can't say anywhere else here. Everything shared in this community stays in this community. What this community is not: A space where you'll be pushed, pressured, or made to feel like you're not doing enough. You're already doing enough. You're here, aren't you? Want to go deeper? Inside this community you'll also find The Sanctuary — a premium 17-week healing programme designed specifically for parents like you. Monthly masterclasses, EFT tapping sessions, Validating Vent calls, and a library of resources — all live and archived so there's zero pressure to show up at any particular time. It's £15/$20 a month and you can join directly through the app. To get started: 👉 Head to the Classroom tab to explore what's available (I'll be adding more stuff each week, so do keep an eye_ 👉 Introduce yourself below — just your name and one word for how you're feeling today is absolutely enough I'll start: I'm Laura, and I'm hopeful. 🧡
Welcome to When Stopping Isn't An Option 🧡
Please Introduce yourself
Hi there! Welcome to When Stopping Isn't An Option! I am so grateful you are here... especially because I know that you haven't had the opportunity to pause the world and join us, and you've likely just added this in to your day! This space is a safe space for sharing the realities of navigating education systems that don't work for all children and young people and of course the many complex, endless and frustrating bureaucracies that accompany them! It is my hope and intention that being in this group gives more than it takes and supports you as you keep going on whatever pathway you are on. You are important. Your mental health is important. And you are so welcome. Please do introduce yourself on this thread as you arrive - it's great to meet you x

The Polyvagal Compass - this week's printable
Squirrelling away over here...
Happy Sunday everyone. I am sitting here putting the finishing touches to the printable for The Sanctuary Members today as 2pm I will be going live to explain how this solo journaling/ deep dive exercise is done. I'm really enjoying it... I love anything to do with Polyvagal Theory so teaching people how to use it to find a calmer and more regulated nervous system is just wonderful! Apart from that, I have a preteen 'cleaning' her room (ready for us putting up a shelf this evening), a 9 yr old taking his opportunity to play Minecraft on the TV with no one else to share with for once, 7 yr old is at football and Jon is getting the toddler to sleep in the buggy, walking round the sidelines. I will be dashing downstairs in a minute to spend an hour batch cooking TVP lasagnes and making carrot cake bars for next week! PHEW! I hope your Sunday is as restful or productive as you need it to be, especially if you are gearing up for a return to school/ education establishment tomorrow. Do share what you're up to ... it'd be lovely to know where we are all at x
