Welcome to Ds Connections
Let me first of all assure you, like the parable within “Welcome To Holland,” where you are now may not be where you set out to go, but where you are heading has just as many joys, loving moments and dreams to look forward to as where you originally intended to go.
I too have sat where you are now, shaking with unforeseen emotion, mind swirling with a myriad of questions and demanding answers beyond immediate reach. These feelings, emotions and overwhelming thoughts are normal. You are not alone!
With the help of Ds Connections Nw we can connect you with families and parents who have sat where you’re sitting and walked in your shoes. Families that will share the same challenges and obstacles that all parents face in the areas of healthcare, education and therapy. We can connect you with other professionals, service providers or recommend further resources.
If you are an individual or parent seeking support, a healthcare professional needing advice, or you would like to offer support yourself, please take a moment to connect with us!
On behalf of everyone at Ds Connections Northwest thank you for this opportunity to personally welcome you.
