Support Groups
Looking for connection and extra support?
At Neuron and Rose, we believe in the power of community and support. Our therapy practice is rooted in understanding, validation, and empowerment. One of the strongest calls of feedback we continue to hear from clients is the need for continued support after evaluation and for community with other neurodivergent folks!
Each season, we offer a range of support groups designed to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to explore their identities and connect with others who share similar experiences.
You Can Be In Community!
For neurodivergent individuals, the journey towards self-acceptance and empowerment often finds its foundation in the supportive embrace of community. In a world that frequently misunderstands or overlooks their unique perspectives and needs, finding a community of like-minded individuals can be profoundly validating and empowering. Through shared experiences and mutual understanding, members of the neurodivergent community can find solace, validation, and a sense of belonging that may have eluded them in mainstream environments.
Within a supportive community, neurodivergent individuals have the opportunity to share their triumphs and challenges openly, without fear of judgment or stigma. This fosters a sense of solidarity and empathy, where each member feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are. Moreover, the collective wisdom and lived experiences within the community offer invaluable resources for navigating the complexities of everyday life, from managing sensory sensitivities to developing coping strategies for executive functioning challenges. In essence, community becomes not only a source of comfort and validation but also a catalyst for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
