Why This Program?
This 10-week, 90 min. program in self-care has been adapted specifically for parents caring for those with autism and other neurodiverse needs. It is designed to help parents/caregivers build the emotional resources in resilience and self-regulation to cope more effectively with the daily challenges and stressors and to help build associated skills in parenting.

- Awareness of stress patterns
- Improved skills in responding effectively to stressors
- Increased parent connections with their child
- Greater overall mental health
- Improved family quality of life
Cost:
