Parent Support Groups
Our Parent Support Groups are virtual, neurodiversity-affirming spaces for parents who want connection, understanding, and support. Informed by parent feedback and facilitated by clinicians with lived experience, these groups focus on real conversations about diagnosis, burnout, identity, and the everyday realities of caregiving. This is not about parenting “better,” but about having space to exhale, reflect, and feel less alone — in ways that fit into already full lives.
meet other pARENTS who just get it.
Our groups welcome the parents, partners, and caregivers who support neurodivergent kids and families
Parenting a young neurodivergent child can turn ordinary moments into negotiations. Getting dressed, leaving the house, homework, screens off, teeth brushed — each one a decision about whether to push or let it go, usually made in seconds and often while you are already depleted. Many parents know a great deal about their child's needs and still find themselves stuck in the same hard moments, wondering why understanding it hasn't made it easier to live.
This four-session group is for parents who want two things at once: practical coping strategies that hold up in a real household, and the company of other parents who recognise the situation and share the same experiences.
The group is neuroaffirming and PDA-informed, recognising that demand avoidance, sensory needs, and differing capacities for regulation and recovery show up in children and caregivers alike — and that many parents in the room may be neurodivergent themselves.

A Neuroaffirming Parent Support Group for Caregivers
parenting when everything is a negotiation
Parenting a neurodivergent late adolescent or young adult, particularly following a later diagnosis or when your young person doesn't fit neatly into expected developmental timelines or available systems, can leave you constantly wondering what comes next.
This closed, virtual parent group with Sarah Philbrick-Djerfi, Master's Level Registered Social Worker, offers a supportive space to connect with other parents, share experiences, and explore practical approaches to regulation, autonomy, communication, boundaries, caregiver wellbeing, and adulthood.
The group is neuroaffirming and PDA-informed, with a focus on understanding what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing behaviour.
7 biweekly sessions · Monday evenings · 7:30–8:30 PM · Virtual

A Neuroaffirming Parent Group for Parents of Neurodivergent Late Adolescents and Young Adults
parenting the in-between
Parenting a child who needs significant support can leave caregivers carrying an enormous emotional and practical load. This group offers a space to connect with other parents, share experiences, and explore how caregiver regulation, burnout, and wellbeing intersect with supporting your child's emotional regulation.
The group is neuroaffirming and PDA-informed, with a focus on understanding demand avoidance, regulation, connection, and sustainable approaches to parenting.
Led by Louise Gleeson, Master's Level Registered Psychotherapist, parents will have opportunities to share experiences, learn from one another, and explore practical approaches with facilitator guidance. Topics may include caregiver burnout, co-regulation, emotional regulation, PDA and demand sensitivity, and the emotional realities of parenting.
