“I’m really excited to share that I started a new role as a Parent Support Coordinator for KEEN London’s Rising Stars program. This opportunity means so much to me because I’m passionate about supporting families and children with additional needs.
Being a Parent Champion played a big part in my journey to employment. Through that role, I gained confidence in speaking with other parents, sharing resources, and advocating for children with disabilities. It also helped me develop skills in listening, problem-solving, and offering emotional support - all of which are key to my new job.
Most importantly, being part of the Parent Champion network showed me the power of community and lived experience. It reinforced my belief that parents supporting parents can make a real difference. Now, in my new role, I hope to continue empowering families, just as I was supported on my own journey."
