Have you ever found yourself wondering how we ended up connected? It might have been through one of the over 7,000 calls I’ve made to parents just like you over the years. As a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of an assessment center in Gilbert, Arizona, I’ve spoken with countless parents about their children’s challenges and their hopes for brighter tomorrows.
On these calls, I’ve often thought about how beneficial it would be to have not just me, but your child’s teacher, pediatrician, therapist, and perhaps even another parent who’s already walked a similar path. Imagine us all together, discussing the intricacies of your child’s needs and how we can collectively support them. That vision is what drives this initiative—bringing together our community to demystify the journey we’re on with our children.
In our video-style newsletter, we dive into these very conversations—a series of short, in-person discussions specially crafted for you. I talk to many of you each week, and there’s always a wealth of emotions shared: the hope for change, the worry about timing, and often, the sadness of not knowing how best to help your struggling child. But what’s constant is the hope that we can turn things around and find our way back on track.
One of the profound experiences is reaching the other side of an assessment, where clarity, plans, a roadmap, and a teamwork approach unveil themselves as keys to your child’s success. Knowing you are a leader on that team brings empowerment. However, the road to this point is rarely easy, often scattered with obstacles that are harder to overcome when faced alone.
This platform aims to illuminate what that journey can look like when we tackle hurdles as a team. We invite you to tune in to our videos when they strike a chord, share topics with friends who are in need, and if you’ve passed through to the other side, consider becoming a parent ambassador—a beacon of support for new parents joining our community.
We’ve cultivated a unique community, and I’m thrilled to have you be a part of it. Whether you’re seeking guidance, offering support, or simply trying to better understand the road ahead, there is a place for you here. Our collective experience creates a tapestry of wisdom and strength—a testament to what we can accomplish together.
Join us on this journey, and know that you are never alone.
Maylin Griffiths, Ph.D.
