Program Description
We get it. Being a parent or caregiver of a neurodivergent child can leave you feeling isolated. You may have problems finding resources or are unsure of how to navigate services. There seems to be no playbook. Or you may have the feeling that no one "gets it."
Join us for Brilliant Mornings, a warm and welcoming monthly gathering designed just for parents and caregivers like you.
At Brilliant Mornings, we brew up more than just great coffee. We're serving a hearty blend of support, resources, and community connection in a relaxed, positive atmosphere.
Each month, we'll tackle pressing topics such as:
Navigating service funding and appeals
Understanding developmental stages
Mastering the IEP process
Ensuring safety through 911 registration and police interaction
Surviving and thriving during holidays
And much more!
