Upstream Parenting Group

Upstream Parenting

Upstream Parenting is a peer-run, mutually-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).

In our shared-learning groups, 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 across all intersectional experiences. We aim to support families in identifying their strengths and rooting themselves in a healthy, good-fit life.

(We currently intermittently have interpretation available for Spanish, but are working to integrate more language support as we are able).

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 kiddo and same aged peers is a struggle.
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 and neurocognitive differences.
Interested in sharing local and online resources to better support themselves and their family.
Wanting to amplify advocacy efforts around neurodiversity and celebrate the resilience that comes from diversity.
Ready to help change the dominant narratives around neurodivergence.
