SUMMARY:VIRTUAL WORKSHOP - Neurodiversity 101: A Parent's Guide to Affirming Support
DESCRIPTION:Parenting a neurodivergent child can raise questions about language\, labels\, strengths\, and challenges.

Parents will leave with tools to foster confidence\, understanding\, and connection. \n\nWHEN: Sunday\, February 22 from 5:00pm-6:00pm\nWHERE: Zoom (link shared after registration)\nREGISTRATION: REQUIRED >>\nCOST: FREE\nCONTACT: Email navigator@youthwell.org
