Family Consultations

If you want a more private and tailored experience, you can request a 1:1 consultation. This allows caregivers to receive specific and individualized resources and strategies. Hannah will take the time needed to understand the situation and to suggest the most appropriate information. This can be done remotely or in-person. For example, a family with a teen who has a spinal cord injury may want to understand how to support them to pursue intimate relationships later in their life. Hannah would meet with the caregivers and discuss their concerns. She would share strategies and any appropriate  additional professional support. Afterwards she would research their needs and follow-up with an email including all relevant resources.

Consultations can also be used by a person with a disability. Hannah can help them explore a particular topic that the caregiver is struggling to address. This must be a topic that is specific enough that it can be covered in one session. In addition, there would be an expectation that the caregiver involved would follow-up with any necessary support. For example, perhaps a sibling caregiver is uncomfortable talking to their family member about masturbation. Hannah would have the initial conversation, then develop a communication plan with the family, and share resources with both the individual and their sibling. This strategy is meant to ensure any future needs can be addressed more easily without outside intervention.
