Group Coaching for Autism Parents
One of the hardest parts of raising a child with autism is the isolation. Many parents feel like no one in their life truly understands what their family is living. Group coaching is designed to change that.
Small groups with 3 to 6 families meet around a specific topic, guided by Kristen. This is a space to ask the questions you don't feel comfortable asking anywhere else, hear from parents who are living similar realities, and leave with tools you can actually use.
