In this episode Mel chats with Stacey Touma and Bree Pennie, both of whom have kids on the NDIS, and both of whom work for a wonderful organisation called Kindred that supports families raising kids with disabilities. 

Stacey lives in Brisbane with her husband, Mark, and their three children, including Alex, 10, who has a rare genetic condition called Williams Syndrome. Bree lives on the south coast of NSW with her partner, Mitch, her daughter Dylan, 9, and her seven-year-old son Dax, who was born with Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and has physical disability. 

In this conversation we cover parent and carer wellbeing, and the relatively unknown concepts of parent capacity building and coaching.
