Our Virtual Family Support Group is back — and this month, we’re joined by Amanda Griffith-Atkins, LMFT, who will share her journey of navigating motherhood, identity, and self-compassion while raising a child with disabilities.

She’s created a community where parents can speak honestly about it all — the hard parts, the beautiful moments, and everything in between.

Come as you are.
Stay for the support.
Leave feeling a little lighter, a little more connected.
