About this Event
Are you a parent or caregiver of a neurodivergent child and feeling uncertain about the journey ahead? Looking for support and connections within your community? Join us at a monthly Thrive Parents meet-up! This is a no-cost, relaxed, inclusive way to meet others, learn about resources, and start building community together.
Our bi-monthly peer support evenings provide focused time to connect with other parents and caregivers who truly understand your family’s journey. Over light snacks and in a relaxed, confidential space, you’ll have the chance to share experiences, swap ideas, and feel supported. Snacks, fidget and calming toys will be available to help make the space more comfortable.
A dedicated time just for parents and caregivers – a quiet, kid-free space to share and connect. Please ensure you find childcare before attending this event.
