October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month and today we chat with Keli Gooch who is a licensed mental health professional, author, and special-needs mom to Tayler her 18-year-old daughter with a dual diagnosis of Down Syndrome and Autism.
Keli is a gifted writer and I encouraged you to check out her blog https://www.keligooch.com/blog as well as her book titled "Watering the Soul: A 91-Day Purposeful Self Care Journal for caregivers". Often as a caregiver, it is difficult to find a resource that offers actionable steps to manage burn out and Keli's book serves that need.
Jennifer Barham has also contributed a blog piece educating us on Down Syndrome.
This resource may be found at www.raisingkellan.org including the transcript of the interview with Keli Gooch
