Thank you for your interest in joining Parents Connect, a welcoming online group run by and for parents across the state of children with all disabilities.

*Please note: the date and times for our monthly meet ups will be available soon.

Whether you're just starting out or well into your journey as a parent of a child with a disability, Parents Connect offers a unique space to transform challenges into wisdom and ideas into action. Here you'll connect, share, learn and grow together. As a welcoming circle of parents we can offer you both support and inspiration in one place, truly understanding your journey. Here we lift each other up, replenish our energy, have fun and learn through whatever comes!

Led monthly online* by Nicole, herself a parent of a child with a disability, our group offers a nurturing space where parents can come as they are, share lived experience and practical wisdom, be heard and have real conversations, strengthen their self-advocacy, and build a network where all can thrive.
Parents Connect Facilitator

At the heart of our peer group is Nicole, who brings two decades of lived experience parenting her child with disability. She intuitively understands that the most fulfilling journey involves growing both as an individual with unique passions and interests and simultaneously evolving as a parent. She knows that nurturing your whole self ultimately enriches what you can offer your children and other people in your life.
