Parent Support Groups

Our Parent Support Groups are designed to provide supportive, reflective spaces for parents and caregivers raising neurodivergent children and youth. Informed by parent feedback and grounded in neurodiversity-affirming values, these groups respond to the real experiences families navigate, including diagnosis, advocacy, caregiver burnout, identity, and planning for the future.

Facilitated by experienced clinicians with lived experience, groups prioritize thoughtful discussion, shared understanding, and practical exploration rather than prescriptive advice. Parents are invited to reflect, connect with others at similar stages, and make sense of their experiences in a space that is respectful, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

Groups are intentionally structured to be accessible and flexible, allowing parents to participate in ways that align with their capacity. Offerings include groups for parents processing a new diagnosis, neurodivergent parents, fathers, queer and trans parents, and parents of late-diagnosed or transitional-age youth.

All groups are held virtually and are designed to support parents as whole people, recognizing that caregiver wellbeing is a critical part of supporting neurodivergent children and youth.

Our groups welcome the parents, partners, and caregivers who support neurodivergent kids and families

UPCOMING SESSIONS

Taylor Malcolm is a Certified Nurse Pyschotherapist and Registered Nurse with a passion for trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and neurodiversity-affirming clinical practice that centers the voices of individuals. As a late-diagnosed AuDHD parent with two neurodivergent children, Taylor blends her personal and professional experiences to offer a support group for parents to find like-minded individuals and support one another with the daily stress of navigating the world as a neurodivergent adult and parent. Taylor’s group is open to self-identified or formally-identified neurodivergent caregivers of kids of any age. In this session, Taylor creates a welcoming, affirming space for neurodivergent parents to connect, feel understood, and share practical strategies for managing daily life, parenting, and burnout.

Sarah, a Registered Social Worker, welcomes you into a thoughtful, affirming space to help caregivers understand developmental mismatches, navigate complex systems, prevent burnout, and reimagine adulthood—while setting healthy boundaries, redefining success, and processing the emotional realities of an unexpected parenting journey.

Louise Gleeson is a Registered Psychotherapist with both professional experience and the invaluable personal insight from lived experience. If you’ve ever thought “I should be coping better” or “Why does this feel so hard?”, you’re not alone. In this session, Louise offers a supportive and welcoming group setting to pause, reflect, and tend to your emotional wellbeing—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.

Robert Simms is a Registered Social Worker whose personal experience with late-diagnosis and parenthood inform his work with clients. Rob offers a supportive, understanding space designed specifically for neurodivergent parents to connect, reflect, and grow together. Parenting—whether raising neurodivergent children, navigating executive function challenges, or simply balancing life’s many demands—can feel isolating. This group is a place to explore those experiences with others who get it. Rob's group blends peer support with gentle guidance, aiming to foster connection, resilience, and insight. Whether you’re looking for empathy, practical tools, or just a safe space to be yourself, this group is here for you.
