As young adults are transitioning towards independence and into employment, caregivers are transitioning from the role of Manager to that of Consultant for their young adult.

This transition can be challenging for all parties, and can create tension and feelings of stress and anxiety.

In this strengths-based workshop, caregivers will gain the skills and knowledge to:

• Reflect on and outline their own support needs during the transition to independence with their young adult
• Identify the natural and community supports that they already have access to, and which supports are missing or needed
• Reflect on factors that influence their comfort in accessing and leaning into supports
• Model and implement the use of strengths-based tools and strategies to support themselves and their young adult through the transition to independence

In addition to connecting with other caregivers and natural supports who may be having similar experiences, attendees will learn about available community resources for caregivers and Autistic and other neurodivergent folks.

Please note: Caregivers do not need to be parents in order to attend this workshop. Caregivers can be legal guardians, supportive roommates, natural supports, or family members.

Space in this session is limited, and registration is required.
