Encounter with Our History

05/08/2026

Another Meeting with Our History will take place on Saturday, May 16. A welcoming and sharing space for mothers with children with disabilities or chronic illnesses.

Between therapies, consultations, demanding routines, lack of support network and feeling that no one understands us, atypical mothers live at constant risk of isolation, depression and exhaustion.

It is essential to stop, listen to our voice and recognize that we do not have to carry everything on our own.

At each meeting we take new steps to make our story lighter.

Participation is free of charge.
