Navigating the Autism Journey: Parent Support & Education Group
Advertisement
Receiving an autism diagnosis can bring a wide range of emotions, questions, and uncertainties. Whether you’re navigating a recent diagnosis or looking for support along the way, this group is a welcoming space to learn, connect, and grow alongside other parents and caregivers.
Join us Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00 PM, starting November 3rd for a 6-week series led by Lucy Pittenger, LPC/MHSP (T), a counselor, retired teacher of 35 years, and mother of a child on the autism spectrum.
Who it’s for:
Parents and caregivers of children with autism who want education, support, practical strategies, and connection with others on a similar journey.
What you’ll gain:
Practical tools to better support your child
Greater confidence in advocacy and caregiving
Connection, encouragement, and ongoing support
What we’ll explore:
Processing an autism diagnosis and the emotions that follow
Understanding your child’s strengths, challenges, and support needs
Communication, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and behavior strategies
Managing stress, meltdowns, and everyday parenting challenges
Building confidence in advocacy, school partnerships, and family relationships
Preventing caregiver burnout while cultivating resilience and hope
Open group: You can join at any point as space allows, so it’s never too late to be part of this community.
Cost: Self-pay is never more than $30 per session. We can also bill insurance when a plan includes group therapy coverage (an individual intake session is required for insurance billing). Ask us about our Restore Program if cost is a concern.
Each class is nonjudgmental, safe, and respectful of individuals from all walks of life. Space is limited.
To register, call 877-352-1039. We’ll answer your questions and add you to the class list.
