Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!
Happy Birthday to my Godchild Nicholas! Today's episode is in honor of Nicholas and all babies born with Downs Syndrome!
Raising a son with Down syndrome, advocating for his acceptance, and shouting his worth in a society where words like "suffering" and "burden" are associated with special needs and Down syndrome. Carissa Carroll my special guest says, "I've learned a little about Down syndrome, I've learned a lot about Jack.
Meet Carissa Carroll;
Carissa, M.Ed., is an alumna of Bethel University and the University of Minnesota. She taught at elementary and collegiate levels before a sweet baby boy named Jack changed her heart and passion. After an abrupt and assumptive diagnosis experience, Carissa felt led to start Jack's Basket. She wanted to make a change for future parents, ensuring that they felt their child was a reason to celebrate and have opportunities to connect within the community. Carissa presents to medical professionals about how to deliver the diagnosis without bias, works with the Jack's Basket board to further the mission, and connects with volunteers who deliver baskets. When not pursuing her passion, Carissa can be found enjoying an early morning long run, quality time with her husband, and soaking up the days with her two sons and daughter.

Our new Prenatal Consult Film is a tool that our medical team just released for healthcare providers and parents expecting a baby with Down syndrome. At Jack's Basket, we strive to equip medical providers with tools to discuss the diagnosis in an unbiased way in hopes that having a baby with Down syndrome is celebrated like any other. This tool is the first of its kind within the Down syndrome community. It features perspectives from providers and parents raising a child with Down syndrome to offer hope, encouragement, expert insight, and a warm "congratulations."
Our theme at Jack's Basket is 'You Make Me Better' - this has become an anthem for our community and the central message of our organization -- each of our lives have the opportunity to make each other's better.
In this episode Carissa answers;
How has the organization and your mission grown since 2014?
What was the vision behind your new Prenatal Consult Film? What void or gap is it filling in the medical community?
How does Jack make you better? Where does the inspiration for this anthem come from?
