Support Groups

Caregiver Connection Circle

A monthly parent and caregiver community where families connect, share experiences, and learn from one another.

Our Caregiver Connection Circle is a warm, welcoming space where parents, caregivers, and family members come together to connect, share experiences, ask questions, and support one another. Whether through open conversation or special topic discussions, our gatherings are led by parents, caregivers, and guest community members who share their lived experiences and practical knowledge with other families.

Each month, we come together for either an open community gathering or a discussion centered around a special topic. These topics are inspired by the interests, experiences, and questions of our parent community and may include navigating community resources, educational options, parenting, wellness, and other aspects of raising and supporting neurodivergent children. Together, parents, caregivers, and guest community members share their lived experiences, practical knowledge, and lessons learned, creating opportunities for families to learn from one another in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Our gatherings are typically held on the first Tuesday evening of the month, although meeting dates may occasionally vary based on the month’s topic or presenter. Please check our current schedule when registering for the most up-to-date meeting information.

Open to all families—you do not need to be an ITS client to join us!
