Upstream Parenting

This Group is for Parents and Guardians who are:

• Feeling isolated, or that others don’t seem to understand their kid or their parenting.  
• Finding that following conventional parenting advice is causing blowups, meltdowns and/or relationship ruptures. 
• Noticing that relationships between their child and same aged peers are challenging. 
• Finding that there is a poor fit between their child and their school.
• Trying to navigate a 504 or IEP process, providers or other services in the area.  
• Seeking help navigating the How-Tos of getting an evaluation for their child, or what to do with a new diagnosis.  
• Hoping to connect with other parents who want to learn more about their own &/or their child’s learning, developmental and neurocognitive differences.
• Interested in sharing local and online resources to better support themselves and their family.
• Wanting to amplify advocacy efforts around neurodiversity.
• Wanting to celebrate the cultural and community resilience that arises when differences among us are met with curiousity and validation. 
• Ready to help change the dominant narratives, stigma and pathology around neurodivergence and differences.   

Our parent /guardian groups are held in-person at the BASE, and on Zoom. 

Current offerings include

Weekly on Wednesday Mornings, 9:30-10:30am. Hybrid (in person and by Zoom).

Every Other Tuesday Evening from 5-6pm. Zoom only for winter, then TBD.

Check our Calendar for dates!

The first Group times of each month are dedicated to deeper personal sharing; taking the hour to learn about the group culture, shared agreements and one another.

You're welcome to come as you are, to any of the group times.
