When your child is seriously injured at school (Feat. Dennis Procopio) S4E17

Slight format change beginning today because I’m moving to a different server. My good friend Dennis Procopio is here today. Dennis is the founder of Man-UP! Life Coaching (MULC) and has been on the show a few times to talk about various topics. Dennis is also a special needs Dad and he’s here today to share a situation he recently had to deal with in regards to his son being seriously injured while at school. This could happen to anyone but it can be more complicated when it comes to our special needs kiddos. There are a lot of emotions parents experience when something like this happens. Dennis talks about how he navigated this difficult and scary situation. He also dives into his experience as a life coach to help us better navigate these emotional situations in a positive and productive way. I have learned so much from my conversations with Dennis and he’s helping me become a better version of myself.
