Share Groups are free, monthly support groups for parents and primary caregivers, meeting from September through May in various locations across Metro Atlanta. These gatherings provide a welcoming space to connect with other parents, exchange practical tips, and share both the challenges and joys of parenting. As the very first program offered by FOCUS, Share Groups remain a cornerstone of our support services. Led by dedicated parent volunteers, each meeting is designed to be positive, constructive, and uplifting.
FOCUS is pleased to offer complimentary snack or meal cards to attending parents. We kindly ask that any guests joining you cover the cost of their own meal.
When a child, parent, or relative receives a diagnosis of autism or ADHD, it can be a moment of recognition—not just for the individual, but for the entire family as well. Many neurodivergent parents embark on a parallel journey, discovering their own neurodivergence through their child’s diagnosis. This workshop, facilitated by Jay Eveson-Egler, an AuDHD parent from a predominantly neurodivergent family, aims to explore how these realizations can influence parenting, relationships, and family dynamics. We will be exploring the challenges and strengths associated with neurodivergent parenting, the complexities of co-parenting with differing neurotypes, and various strategies for creating a home that supports and celebrates all forms of neurodivergence.
Stop in anytime between 4:30 and 7:00 pm for Arts & Crafts, Music, Sensory fun (We'll have SNOW!) and of course visit with Santa! No charge to attend, but please Register!
