Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.

The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do.

A new approach to fitness is getting some traction. That approach is getting those with mental disabilities on the road to living happier, healthier lives.A lot of us understand that the importance on having their loved ones, set up with OT's, Therapists, Psychiatrists and Doctors but, few realize the importance on exercise.Matthew Alexander is the PRIME example of how and why fitness is not only important but, crucial. He was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and Anxiety and never really understood the value of fitness himself. He basically went through life trying to figure out how to cope with it, until his family got him to start taking spin classes. He feel in love with it and almost immediately after started feeling happier. It took him a while but, he finally realized that those classes helped keep him on the right path towards a happier life.Why is that the case? Because serotonin and dopamine get released immediately after exercise and it started to really get him more and more focused.The issue, was that he quickly learned, the professionals in the field didn't really understand how to train people like him. No fault of their own, but they were never taught. So Matthew, like most entrepreneurs, took this and ran with it. He started collecting data and wanted to form his own company where he can help educate the fitness world on how to work with people from all walks of life.Matthew is a true inspiration to those that really want to make a difference in this world. Here is an article he did Connect with him on FBSupport the show (http://www.redefine-fitness.com)

Abuse in the Special Needs Community with Host Rick Knight

No one is an island. We all need community. And for a family impacted by disability, having a community of support to share encouragement and help meet real needs can change everything. On today’s Mother’s Day episode of the Joni and Friends Ministry Podcast, Crystal talks with Cynthia Berry, a woman who has faced a series of challenges: she’s a single mom, an African American woman, and mother to a child with special needs. Through each challenge, Cynthia has found her lifeline of help and support through the community of her church. Listen as she shares what her community taught her about her son how each new challenge has deepened her faith in Jesus. If you feel overwhelmed by your challenges today, please don’t self-isolate. Find a community of support and press in, even if it is uncomfortable. God has given us the local church to provide real community… and you have a story of hope that needs to be shared. For practical tools to help build a community of support for families impacted by disability, download our free book Doing Life Together at www.joniandfriends.org/podcast Joni and Friends was founded in 1979 by Joni Eareckson Tada who in a diving accident was left a quadriplegic at 17 years old.
