About this Event

2nd Annual Healing & Empowerment Conference
The Lived Experience of the Autistic Family

Join us for a powerful and transformative afternoon at the 2nd Annual Healing & Empowerment Conference, where we center the voices, stories, and real-life journeys of families navigating autism.

This year’s theme, “The Lived Experience of the Autistic Family,” creates space for honest conversation about the emotional, relational, and spiritual realities of raising and loving a neurodivergent child. Together, we will explore healing, understanding, resilience, advocacy, and empowerment.

This is more than a conference — it’s a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported.


Special Feature: Book Signing
Israel’s Journey With His Brother KJ

Meet young author Israel Yancey, who courageously shares his personal story as the sibling of a neurodivergent brother. This heartfelt children’s book offers insight, empathy, and encouragement for families navigating autism.

Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
