Families with intellectually impaired children experience a great deal of stress which demands various internal and external resources for effective coping. This research aimed at investigating coping strategies in families with intellectually impaired children at the Dagbreek and Moreson Centres in the Khomas Education Region of Namibia. For the purpose of this study, a qualitative approach was adopted. Interviews were conducted to collect data with a sample of ten families whose children attended school at the aforementioned centres. The data collected was analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results indicate that parents and guardians received support from partners, siblings, the extended families, social support from others, professional support as well as spiritual support when having an intellectually impaired child. It was further evident from the above findings that parents and guardians are stressed because of the burden of care they carry in raising their children. The researchers recommend that government and non-governmental organizations intervene in order to assist parents and guardians to care for their children.
