Parent Coaching & Peer Support: Guidance on the Journey

 Parenting a neurodivergent child can sometimes feel isolating and overwhelming. Without the right guidance, empathy, and support, it’s easy to feel lost. As a parent with lived experience in this area, I’m here to walk alongside you, providing the support and tools you need to navigate this unique journey.

What is Parent Coaching & Peer Support?

Part of being a parent is getting a ton of advice on how to best raise your child, whether you ask for it or not. Being the parent of a neurodivergent child can take that to a whole new level of well-intentioned, conflicting advice to sort through from family, friends, and experts.

  • As someone with lived experience, I bring firsthand knowledge of raising children with neurodivergencies, allowing me to connect with you on a deeply personal and empathetic level.
  • You need emotional support so you can provide the support your child needs. I provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to share feelings of stress, isolation, or being overwhelmed. You’re not alone in this.
  • Practical Guidance is the difference between advice and action. From managing daily routines to advocating for services, I can help you develop concrete strategies tailored to your family’s unique needs.
  • I will be by your side as you navigate systems like education, healthcare, and community services — together we will ensure that your child gets the support they deserve. I will not only be your advocate, but I will help you to become your child’s best advocate.
  • I can assist in interpreting educational and therapeutic recommendations and integrating them into your family’s daily life for maximum benefit.
  • I can help you find and build your community by connecting you with local and online resources to reduce isolation and foster a supportive network of families with shared experiences.

How Families Benefit

Giving you the support you need is the key to empowering you to give your family the support they need.

  • You will feel understood and supported by someone who truly gets it. You won’t feel isolated because you won’t be alone.
  • You will gain the knowledge and skills to be an effective and confident advocate for your child.
  • You will improve your personal well-being by sharing challenges and discovering coping strategies to reduce stress and bring greater balance to your life.
  • I offer holistic support. Together, we’ll create an emotional and practical framework to support your family at every stage.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Parent coaching and peer support are here to empower, uplift, and guide you toward a brighter path for your family. Let’s work together to build the confidence and community you deserve.
