Sarah, a Registered Social Worker, offers a warm peer support group for parents of late-diagnosed or transitional age youth who feel they are falling through the cracks of existing support systems.

This group offers a space to connect with other parents and caregivers of children who have struggled with mental health and adaptive skills, yet whose needs have not been properly recognized by traditional developmental services.

Sarah facilitates virtual groups for peer-support and discussions about:

• Managing caregiver burnout and developing sustainable parenting strategies
• Navigating institutional support systems, particularly when your child doesn't qualify for DSO
• Understanding why their child's intellectual abilities don't always align with their real-world skills
• Planning for when their child reaches adulthood
• Setting healthy boundaries to support their young adult's autonomy while maintaining connection
• Redefining success on our terms and letting go of neurotypical expectations
• Processing the emotions associated with an unexpected parenting journey
