“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” ~ Desmond Tutu
Upstream Parenting is a peer-run, supportive group for parents of kids with brain-based differences (these include but are not limited to: '2e', Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing differences, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma).
We focus on wellbeing, learning and advocacy. We hope to amplify neurodivergent voices in our community and disseminate knowledge of practices which affirm and celebrate differences. We aim to support families in identifying their strengths and rooting themselves in a healthy, good-fit life.
Our parent group is a hybrid meeting: in-person at the BASE, and on Zoom.
Current weekly groups are currently held weekly on Wednesdays at 9:30-10:30am and Fridays 12-1pm.
The BASE at Franklin is a safe place for all brains. We understand differences as differences. We strive to utilize collaboration and compassion to navigate communication differences without stigmatizing or pathologizing. We provide a place for community to connect around diverse interests.
