Our Staff
Parent Support Specialists
Parent Support Specialists lead our groups and are also available for one-on-one support. They are employees who are both professionally trained and have lived experience. They are available to help caregivers navigate the mental and behavioral health support system. From helping caregiver access appropriate services through public schools to advocating for children to receive the appropriate referrals to specialist, Parent Support Specialists are available to caregivers whenever they need additional guidance.
Education Advocate
An Education Advocate is available to help caregivers navigate the complex special education system. They offer individual consults with families and hosts workshops and parent support groups that focus on areas such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs), 504s and special education testing.
