Holding Both: Parenting Through Diagnosis

A supportive group for parents and caregivers navigating the emotional landscape of receiving a diagnosis for their child, whether it’s autism, ADHD, a learning difference, or any other developmental, medical, or mental health condition.

Together we will explore the complex feelings that can arise: grief, relief, guilt, confusion, and hope, while building community, sharing stories, and learning tools to support both our children and ourselves.
