New Parent Support Group – CYFM Neurodiversity Working Group
The Children, Youth and Families Ministry (CYFM) Neurodiversity Working Group (NWG) is launching a support group for parents of young people who are neurodiverse or have special needs (no formal diagnosis necessary). We welcome interested parents to an initial meeting July 26th from 11:05 to 12 noon in the upstairs Conference Room, near the Parish Office. Childcare will be provided by Lisa. Julie Murphy, a 40-year St. Mark’s member and certified parent coach, will convene and facilitate by creating a non-judgemental space where parents can share experiences and find support and strength. At the initial meeting, we will get to know one another, discuss topics of interest, and make a flexible plan for future meetings (biweekly vs. monthly, in person vs. virtual). Folks may participate without otherwise being involved in the NWG. For questions, contact Julie at juliaabbotmurphy@gmail.com or NWG lead, Alexis Erwin at erwinwangfamily@gmail.com.
