We are committed to offering meaningful services that reflect the real needs of neurodivergent individuals and their families. Our groups are designed to build connection, support skill development, and foster a strong sense of identity and resilience. Our services are thoughtfully designed to meet clinical needs while remaining flexible and person-centered. We integrate evidence-based approaches with lived experience to promote resilience, confidence, and a sense of community. Whether you are navigating life with a differently wired brain or supporting someone who is, we are here to support you.
This workshop will provide an environment for parents learn and practice concrete strategies for meeting the emotional needs of autistic teens using established techniques to enhance emotional connection (e.g. emotion coaching, EFFT principals) from the lens of the unique strengths and differences of the autistic brain. Parents will leave with increased knowledge and competence with supporting their autistic child, and sense of connection with other parents. Co-facilitated by Dr. Julia Ryan (C. Psych), Dr. Kelly Weegar (C. Psych), and Joanne Doucette (MSW), this 12 hour workshop is four half days planned to maximize learning and connection among group participants.

Led by Erin Shaheen (SSW), these workshops are built on her unique blend of professional experience as a disability advisor providing counselling for academic success and independence to youth and parents, and her personal, lived experience parenting a neurodivergent young adult. Erin offers a compassionate and practical space to help you identify key strategies and resources to guide your child toward a successful and independent launch into adulthood.
We are offering two distinct two-part virtual workshops to meet different needs:
1. Preparing for College and University: This workshop is for parents whose neurodivergent young adult is attending post-secondary in the fall. You will gain valuable knowledge on topics like funding, housing, and accommodations, and learn skills to encourage your child's self-advocacy and executive functioning. The goal is to leave you feeling more equipped and confident in supporting their academic success and independence.
2. Exploring Alternative Paths: This workshop is for parents whose neurodivergent young adult is taking a non-traditional path. We will explore strategies to encourage well-being, life skills, alternative academic pathways, and work readiness. You will discover programs that promote your child's interests, build their skills, and explore the unique benefits of forging a new path, all while connecting with other parents in a supportive space.
