Neuroaffirming Parents Group
Parenting is challenging, and parents of kids with brain and behavioral differences often experience increased stressors and isolation. This group aims at reducing that isolation and providing a platform for parents to explore their own coping skills, learn some new ones, and build up their children's ability to cope with the world. Drawing from DBT, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and IFS, we explore how to challenge ourselves to be neuroaffirming of our children's experiences and accepting of our own.

Parents of Children Living with Tourette
Tourette is a neurodevelopmental disorder often diagnosed in childhood, and while its main symptom is uncontrollable movements and sounds, called tics, tics are just the tip of the iceberg. This group seeks to provide support for parents who want to learn more about supporting the behavioral challenges and co-morbid conditions associated with Tourette. This is a psychoeducation group aimed at providing parents with an understanding of the treatments and interventions used to support children with Tourette, but is not a therapeutic support group.
