Parent Support Circles

Through Parent Support Circles, my goal is to provide peace, understanding, and practical guidance to parents and caretakers of children with an autism diagnosis. Workshops are tailored to each stage in the autism-journey, offering a supportive environment where parents can learn, share, and leave feeling more confident.

Workshops are 90-minutes each and occur on weeknights, virtually or in-person. See workshop pricing here. Two types of workshops are offered, as described below.
