A family is an ecosystem, one that can be impacted greatly if any one or more family member has extra support needs. It may be all you have just to survive each day as it comes. And while “getting through the day” can be the typical parenting narrative, parenting a neurodivergent is not typical and can often leave parents feeling overwhelmed, completely depleted, and lonely.

What often gets missed in parenting—but is actually critical in turning your family’s ecosystem from surviving to thriving—is getting support for YOU. Learning about ourselves as a human amidst parenting our neurodivergent kids is just as important as parenting itself.

In this space, our focus will be:

• Exploring unique challenges you face in the many roles you may hold: parent, partner, care-giver, employee, friend (to name just a few!) and how to integrate your specific needs into those relationships.

• Identifying and learning root causes to the hopes, fears, joys, and overwhelm you may have—while also collaborating on practical ways to bring groundedness to those valid emotions.

• Balancing your child’s needs while also honoring your own well-being by identifying what’s needed to bring more regulation and cohesion into your family’s current eco-system. From there we will explore practical tools, resources, and even referrals (neurodivergent affirming good ones!) that can help you and your family feel empowered.

• Exploring what it looks like to find a like-minded, neurodivergent affirming community, that celebrates you and your family’s unique strengths and needs.
