Need for counselling parents and siblings who have a disabled member of family

Hello, my son is 13 and has CP. We never had counselling as a family, and 2 years ago I had a breakdown. I am now seeing a counsellor who's really helping me. As a result of that, I started studying counselling myself and would like in the future to help parents who have a disabled child and siblings as well. Who thinks it is a good idea? who has received that type of support during their journey? we were never offered it by the way ... thanks for your thoughts. Happy weekend. Caroline

I think this is a fantastic idea! It would put my mind at ease if my mum or my fiancé were to receive some emotional support as they have witnessed an awful lot this year with me.
