Virtual caregiver support groups.
Caregiver support group-Evening.
Meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM, CST
Facilitator: Stacy Badon
Caregivers of individuals with autism face many unique challenges. Life can seem very different and distant from the experiences of many other families. It can be possible to feel that there is no way that they can ask for or expect other people to understand their experiences. This support group is a place for caregivers to share experiences, get information and advice, make community connections, and research opportunities for services and provision for their children. The group is also a safe place for caregivers to have fun and talk about all of the ups and downs of parenting as well as the big and small issues.

Cuidadores de habla Hispana
Se reúne el tercer martes de cada mes a las 7:00 p.m., hora central
Facilitadora: Stacy Badon
Para muchos cuidadores de personas con grandes necesidades de apoyo en el espectro autismo, la vida puede parecer muy diferente de las experiencias de otras familias. Puede parecer imposible esperar que otras personas comprendan sus experiencias. Este grupo de apoyo es un lugar para que los cuidadores compartan experiencias, obtengan información, consejos y establezcan conexiones con la comunidad. El grupo también es un lugar seguro para que los cuidadores se diviertan y hablen sobre todos los altibajos de la crianza de los hijos, así como sobre los problemas grandes y pequeños.
