If you're looking to talk about disability sibling relationships, mental health, disability diagnosis and motherhood, then WOW this episode is for you. Taryn interviews Kara Kushnir on Episode 19 of ELP. Kara is a parent, sibling and psychotherapist in northern NJ, specializing in perinatal mental health as well as working with children, teens and parents. She grew up with a younger sister with disabilities, and went into the field of mental health to support other families impacted by chronic illness, disability, trauma and the challenges that can arise from those lived experiences. She is also a mom to a child with disabilities, and as a former child study team case manager turned private practitioner and advocate, she aims to "support parents to parent" from a place of knowledge and empowerment. Kara also serves on the board of Postpartum Support International NJ, and formerly served on the NJ Council on Developmental Disabilities, and is very involved in advocacy work around maternal mental health and disability.
