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.

Dear Dads & Daughters,
Whether you’re a dad, grandpa, uncle, or a special family friend, this is your moment to shine. Get ready for twirls, giggles, and an afternoon of memory‑making with your favorite kiddo.
And moms… this is your golden window to enjoy a peaceful house, a cozy couch, and maybe a little Netflix bliss while we handle the fun and frolics. Music by DJ Rockin Wheels!
Invitamos a todos los padres interesados en compartir sus ideas sobre cómo apoyar a los padres en todo el estado de Georgia.
Inviting all fathers interested in sharing their ideas on how to support dads across the state of Georgia.
We are working with Kim Johnson of Exceedingly Me Technical Training and Job Readiness, Inc. to create a workshop for the dads and boys in the special needs community. This event will focus on some sensory friendly actitives that are stem related and hands-on because many of our boys and young men need those types of provisions to learn new activites. This event will also have a focus on teaching these boys and young men to put on a tie and learning some positive affirmations that will help build positive self esteem. All of these skills are needed as these boys and young men enter into the adult world and our community. This event is also for the dads and men in our community that are trying to parent a son or mentor a boy or young man with special needs. This event will allow them to focus on the able and not the label in order to build necessary skills as a boy or young man in this world.
