Why you should NOT Google your child's diagnosis

Empowered by Hope

One of the first things we are tempted to do when we learn our child is not healthy is to search for answers on Google. While the internet can be a great tool for researching diagnoses and medical challenges, it also can be dangerous and lead you to a whole lot more worry and distress than necessary.
In this episode Emily and Ashlyn teach you the many ways to research your child’s medical challenges, including your medical team, seeking second opinions, patient navigators and social workers, parent support groups, and finally, the internet. We explore tips for using the internet safely as a helpful tool and not as your first source of information.
The goal is ultimately for all your research to help you best advocate for your child’s medical needs, not to deplete your energy or cause added angst.
