Monthly ASD/ADHD Meetup: Parent/Caregiver

Hi everyone! Due to requests of Meetup group members and attendees of our February Meetup, we are moving to once a month with the parent/caregiver meetup group! I look forward to seeing everyone on more frequent basis!

Based on my experience so far with the meetup, there are two distinct groups of people who attend. One is parents and caregivers of people dealing with autism, anxiety, depression and ADHD, and the other group is adults dealing with these conditions personally. I have decided to alternate months with regards to attendees.

The odd number months will be open and encouraged to adults living with ASD/ADHD/anxiety/depression. The meetup for parents and caregivers, due to popular demand, is now meeting once a month.

I think that this will help in my planning process, to direct adequate and appropriate information to these groups. I believe it will also help form deeper connections between participants, as shared experiences will be more common.

So come join us!

Hi everyone! Dr. Bethany Glynn here. I wanted to have a Meetup at our office the first Thursday of every month, as a space for families and individuals to discuss challenges, exchange tips and tricks, and share stories on living with anxiety, depression, ASD, or ADHD. I will open the space and provide tea, chairs, and an ear to listen or offer (non-specific health or referral) guidance if desired. But mostly, I just want to provide a venue for people to connect and build community. This is mostly catered toward adults (individuals and parents of children and teens affected by the above conditions), but all are welcome. Children may be bored; I have some toys but the Meetups are mostly geared toward gaining information and discussion at this point in time. I hope to see you there! NOTE: I cannot offer specific medical advice during these Meetups. However, I can offer research, clinical experience and general guidance on varying topics if it's desired by participants.
