December Meeting

 

Please join us for a

Virtual Parent Support Group

on Monday, December 9th, 7-8 pm EST

How did Thanksgiving go? We'd love to hear about the good, the bad, and the ugly—and then look ahead to the December holidays.

Did family members make hurtful comments at last year’s holiday gatherings that you’re still holding onto and dreading facing again this year?

Do your in-laws struggle to accept your child with special needs, making you feel unwelcome at family events?

Are you excluded from family gatherings and left to celebrate with just your immediate family, while longing for a connection with your extended relatives?

Let’s continue the conversation with fresh insights from Thanksgiving and dive into the triggers behind these emotions. How do we respond, and what are the things we wish we could do, but feel we never will? Join us for a meaningful discussion!

Please let me know if you would like to receive the link for this meeting. Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon!

Warmly,

Deonne Snare
