Parenting can be joyful, stressful, uplifting, and frustrating – all in one day (hour?!).

The journey to, through, and beyond a special needs diagnosis can make the parenting experience all the more intense. Join an intimate circle of fellow travelers for sharing, listening, and supporting each other with practical advice.

This group is for parents who have children with any special needs and are between the ages of 2-8.

Facilitated by Maria Johnson, an elementary school teacher and special needs mom. The group is compassion-based and for anyone interested in meeting others sharing the journey of parenting a child with special needs. Join us!
