You’re not meant to do this alone—and you don’t have to. If you’re raising a child with autism (or supporting a child with unique needs) and you could use a steady place to breathe, learn, and feel understood, this free monthly workshop series is for you. Hosted by R. Family Care Services, this one-hour support circle meets every second Saturday, 10:00–11:00 a.m., led by Raven Napoleon (Respite Coordinator, RFCS).
Connect with other parents, guardians, and grandparents and leave with real tools you can use right away—whether you’re navigating behaviors, building structure at home, managing stress, or learning how to advocate within the school system. Each month brings a new topic, but the goal stays the same: helping your family feel supported, capable, and connected.
