Parenting Neurodivergent Kids: A Supportive Workshop & Community
Parenting a neurodivergent child can be a beautiful, unique, and sometimes challenging journey—one that often looks and feels different from what other parents experience. You don’t have to navigate it alone!
Join us for a supportive workshop designed to help parents:
Learn more about neurodivergent brain development and how kids experience the world
Explore practical parenting tools that foster connection, understanding, and growth
Find support, encouragement, and community with other parents who truly “get it”
Together, we’ll talk about real-life challenges and joys, share ideas and strategies, and build a space where every parent feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Whether you’re new to this journey or have been walking it for a while, this group is a chance to connect, learn, and remind yourself you are not alone.

Facilitated by Taylor Strong, LMSW and Kaylee Finlay, APC, NCC
Dates:
Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 9:30am
Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 7:30pm (via Zoom)
Best For:
Parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children in elementary school (ages 5–11).
Goals of the Group
Led by experienced professionals, the group will offer psychoeducation, coping skills, parenting tools, and community connection, empowering caregivers with knowledge, resilience, and confidence.
Psychoeducation
Help parents understand neurodivergence, including conditions such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing differences, and more. Topics will cover how neurodivergent brains work, common behavioral challenges, and developmentally appropriate expectations.Parenting Strategies & Tools
Equip parents with concrete, evidence-based strategies that are specifically effective for neurodivergent children. Emphasis will be on respectful, connection-based, and strengths-focused approaches that move away from traditional discipline techniques.Coping & Self-Care
Provide parents with tools for managing stress, emotional regulation, and burnout. Sessions will include mindfulness, boundary-setting, and strategies to foster resilience in the parenting role.Community & Connection
Create a judgment-free space where parents can share experiences, celebrate wins, process challenges, and build lasting relationships with others who "get it." The group will prioritize peer support and validation, reducing feelings of isolation and increasing overall well-being.
Why This Group Matters
Parents of neurodivergent children often feel judged, isolated, or misunderstood by friends, family, schools, and even other parents. Their children are frequently labeled as "difficult," and their parenting approaches may be scrutinized despite their efforts.
This group aims to break that cycle of disconnection. Through expert guidance and peer support, we hope to cultivate a safe, welcoming community where parents can:
Learn practical, compassionate strategies
Feel empowered and validated
Build meaningful relationships with others who share similar experiences
