The Autism Support Group for Parents meets monthly to discuss autism-related issues relevant to school-aged youth.
Who should attend?
This autism support group is ideal for parents and caregivers of school-aged children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This is a wonderful chance to connect with parents and families with experiences similar to yours. You can share your personal story, or simply listen and learn from other parents. Some meetings will include a local professional to present on specific topic.
Meetings are offered on Zoom and facilitated by two compassionate volunteers: Adi and Shyla.
When are meetings held?
Meetings are on the 1st Tuesday of the month from 11:00am-12:30pm. Note that all meeting times are for the Pacific Time Zone.
Special Request:
Please plan to have your camera on during our meetings to build trust and collaboration. Families share sensitive information during our groups and it’s more supportive to be able to see each other. All PHP support groups are confidential. We kindly ask to limit the group to only parents or caregivers. No professionals, students, or observers. Thank you.
