Caregivers Supporting Emerging Adults Peer Support Group
Description
"This kid is struggling and I don't know how to help."
Nothing prepared you for supporting older teens and young adults in today's world. Technology is pervasive, the job market is bewildering, their future feels uncertain — and there's no roadmap for it. How do you support someone who's technically not a child anymore, but isn't functioning as an adult? How do you reach them when they push you away? How do you help when they refuse your help?
As parents, you're terrified they'll never leave home — or never come back.
As professionals, your tried-and-true tools aren't working.
You're exhausted, worried, and quietly losing hope. You want to inspire their confidence without revealing your desperation. You want to give them autonomy, yet secretly step in because you're afraid of what happens if you don't.
You're not alone — and you're not out of options.
Join two seasoned coaching and parenting veterans who have navigated this terrain firsthand, successfully launching three neurodivergent young adults. In this interactive peer support session, you'll share experiences, gain fresh perspectives, and discover — with guidance that's more art than science — that the relationships and futures you most want are closer than you think.
