Family Wellness Parenting a child with autism presents unique challenges and considerations. Caregivers often report feeling isolated and may put their own mental and physical health aside as they focus on the needs of their child and family.
Our Family Wellness programming gives caregivers opportunities to focus on their own well-being while navigating the demands of caring for their families. Through webinars, connection sessions, and health and wellness coaching, we offered practical strategies for self-care and created space for caregivers to connect with others who understand their experiences. We also brought siblings together to share and connect around their own experiences as family members.

“Being part of the group and having weekly sessions helps to motivate me and increases my accountability.” “I noticed that when I set some time aside to take care of myself it helps me to take better care of my family members.” “
