The diagnosis of deafness in a child can be devastating. Parents, siblings, and grandparents need professional help to talk through their feelings and to come to grips with what a hearing loss means for that family member and for themselves. It Just Can't Be A monthly group session held for parents of newly diagnosed infants and toddlers. Parents of older children frequently drop in for meetings to mentor young parents or simply to get the support for the challenges they now face.
Child care is provided.
