Service Description
Together in the Journey is an 8-week support and psychoeducational group for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents (birth through age 18) with disabilities — including Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental, intellectual, physical, or medical diagnoses. Caring for a child with a disability is one of the most meaningful things you can do — and one of the hardest. This group offers a safe, judgment-free space to connect with others who truly get it, build practical coping skills, and find resilience you didn't know you had. Topics covered include caregiver stress and burnout, grief and acceptance, managing anxiety and overwhelm, self-criticism and guilt, family communication, self-care, and hope for the future. Intake screening required prior to enrollment. Childcare is not available.
