An important first step to self-advocacy is understanding the barriers you face and the strengths you bring to each situation.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you will have the opportunity to practice everything you have learned to date. When you have an understanding of what’s important to you\, you can communicate clearly\, set boundaries\, and confidently make decisions that align with your beliefs and goals.  \n\n\n\nThursday\, February 5\, 20266:45 – 7:45 p.m.Online via Sinneave Connects \n\n\n\nThis free\, virtual workshop is hosted on Sinneave Connects\, our online learning portal.

SUMMARY:The Art of Parenting...with Autism
DESCRIPTION:The next Art of Parenting…with Autism group meets Thursday\, November 21 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. online via Sinneave Connects. \n\n\n\nEach 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. \n\n\n\nThis particular session will focus on how parents can support their children–no matter what age–when they feel lost\, left out and alone\, and when they are feeling down.

We want you to know you aren’t alone. \n\n\n\nThese 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. \n\n\n\nPlease note: During this session\, Sinneave staff\, guest presenters\, and attendees may share information about community resources.
