Parents Supporting Parents

Every Wednesday join us for an opportunity to find support, connection, and information designed just for parents of young children with developmental delays (ages birth to 5).


Come as you are and stay as long or as short as you'd like.

These are casual groups to get to know each other and build community.


And don't forget your golden nugget!

As parents and caregivers of children with developmental delays, much of our focus is spent on the delays and challenges and it is easy to miss or forget to celebrate the successes. Therefore, along with our introductions each week, we share our golden nuggets, something good that has happened in our lives or families' in the recent past.

Every flake of gold has value, so there is no such thing as a golden nugget too small to share and celebrate.


We hope you will join us!


See the blue box to the left for information on times and the links to join.

In their own words...

Watch a video HERE and listen to parents share how they have found meaningful support in attending the virtual Wednesday groups.
