During the summer while the group was in recess, one of the many tasks I wanted to accomplish was a mission statement. It took a long time to figure out what I feel to be an accurate message of the group, and it is as follows.
The mission is to provide information to parents and family members about community resources, school services, therapies, and much more.
The group is comprised of parents of neurodiverse children. The parents offer other parents a safe place to share information, give and receive emotional support, and work together to address common concerns. Parents also help empower each other through knowledge and experiences.
We came together to provide much needed emotional support, knowledge, and a sense of community. To create a place where we can come together and feel no judgment. We can talk, laugh, and cry about the same problems and draw strength from one another.
Together we are a unified voice taking our message to special interest groups, schools, professionals and the community.
*Monthly meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month, from 6-8 at the BHK Houghton Center.*
