Are you a BIPOC parent raising a neurodivergent child of color?
Do you wish for a safe, nonjudgmental parenting community where you feel seen for navigating the complexity of raising your neurodivergent child/ren of color?

Do you wish for support around growing in and un-learning ways of parenting to meet the needs of your child/ren better?

If you found yourself nodding all the way, then this listening circle is for you! Parenting your child with multiple differences in a world not built to affirm and celebrate them is a painful and isolating journey. You find yourself tasked with an impossible ask – to raise your child in a way that celebrates them and preserves their dignity, self-worth and spirit, while the world strips them of these very things.

Contrary to what you may have been told, you don’t have to do this alone. Tending to your spirit and finding strength in community may be one of the most important things you can do to support your beautiful child. So come join us.

 

Priya is a first generation South Asian neurodivergent mother raising her own neurodivergent teenager who lives, works and plays on Duwamish lands (Seattle, USA). She is a child therapist, a parenting consultant and a co-author of the book ‘Parenting at the Intersections: Raising Neurodivergent Children of color’. This group will be facilitated in English.

Hand in Hand provides programs for all people who are caring for children in any capacity. We occasionally offer specialized programs for people in particular caregiving roles and/or identity groups to provide support specific to their experiences. This event is for any parent who identifies as Black, Indigenous or Person of Color and is raising a neurodivergent* child of color. 
*The term ‘Neurodivergent’ encompasses a wide umbrella of neuro-disabilities such as ‘ADHD’, ‘Autism”, ‘Tourette’s’, ‘OCD’  and learning disabilities such as ‘Dyslexia’ , ‘Dyspraxia’ etc.  No formal diagnosis is required to participate. Self-diagnosis or questioning parents, and parents of all genders welcome!
