October 17 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
The next Art of Parenting…with Autism group meets Thursday, October 17 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. online via Sinneave Connects.
Each Art of Parenting session focuses on a different aspect of parenting through the lens of being Autistic and/or parenting Autistic children. Participants will receive encouragement, support, and practical short and long term strategies for navigating parenting in the healthiest way possible, with a focus on self-care and compassion.
This particular session will focus on how to look for hope and encouragement while dealing with systems outside the family unit. These might be situations that occur when interacting with schools, professionals, friends and community members. We will discuss strategies you can implement when you feel misunderstood and provide compassionate advice on how to not give up when you feel discouraged or defeated.
These sessions intend to educate, empower and encourage parents on their journey, as well as create a safe community of ongoing support. Participants will benefit from the practical information provided each session as well as the connection of others who share similar experiences.

Attendees are encouraged to be critical consumers of information available on the internet.

About the Presenter: Joannie Rosevear is a neurodivergent mother of five beautiful children. She is passionate about supporting and encouraging other families so they don’t feel alone in their journey. Her personal experience in parenting children both on and off the spectrum informs the work she does as a Program Facilitator with The Sinneave Family Foundation, knowing that, while books, resources, and professionals are helpful, connecting with someone with lived experience and who “gets it” can be truly empowering.
