Join the online parent support group

A low-pressure hour with parents and caregivers who understand. Come with a question, a hard week, or simply a need to hear another parent say, “Us too.”

Everyone welcome

Any diagnosis or none yet. This is a free, low-pressure online hour, and there is nothing to prepare before you join.

Any age

Parents and caregivers of children of any age are welcome, from the earliest years through adulthood.

Come as you are

Talking and cameras are optional during this free online hour. Listening quietly is always enough.

Not recorded

The host does not record the Thursday 7:00–8:00 PM online meeting, so what is said that night is not saved.

What the hour feels like

Some weeks you may want to talk. Other weeks you may want to listen while you fold laundry or care for your child. A parent facilitator opens the room, and the conversation follows what families need that night — questions, practical ideas, hard moments, or simply being around people who understand.

This is peer support, not therapy. There is no presentation, and nothing is recorded.

Questions about the group

Do I have to talk or be on camera?

No. Cameras and talking are optional. Come late, leave early, listen, fold laundry, or care for your child while you join.

What happens after I sign up?

We email the meeting link before your first meeting. The success message includes what to do if that email does not arrive.
