Workshops this month

You Are Not Alone: Meet & Greet for Parents of Neurodiverse Children

Wednesday, October 16, 7:00-9:00 pm at New Westminster Family Place Quayside.

Are you a parent or caregiver of a neurodiverse child and feeling uncertain about the journey ahead? Looking for support and connections within your community? Join us for “You Are Not Alone,” a special meet-and-greet event at New Westminster Family Place. This is an opportunity for you to connect with other caregivers like yourself, share experiences, and gain insights from community support organizations. For this event we’ll be joined by Dr. Chris Gibbons, who will be discussing psychoeducational assessment, when to get it, how to read it, what to look for and how and when to talk to kids about ASD diagnosis. This adults-only event will leave with valuable resources and new connections to help guide you through your parenting journey. Don’t miss this chance to build a supportive community—take the first step toward finding the support you need!. Register today!

Transition: Vision & Reflection

Wednesday, October 30, 1:30-2:30 pm at New Westminster Family Place Quayside.

As the kids settle back into school, it’s time for you to pause, reflect, and rediscover your own dreams. Join us for an afternoon of relaxation and creativity, designed just for parents who need to reset and refocus. The event includes a calming harp sound bath with Shalom Wiebe, followed by a guided journaling and goal-setting session to help you clarify your aspirations. You’ll also have the opportunity to create a vision board that reflects your hopes for the future. A delicious lunch will be provided, giving you the chance to connect with other parents. Register today!
