Parent Support Group
Community Connections, in collaboration with local businesses, offers a monthly support group for both English & Spanish-speaking parents/caregivers.

GroupMe App - Parent Support & Encouragement
The Community Connections group chats through the GroupMe App is another tool available for parents/caregivers of children with special needs. We strive to maintain a trustworthy place to foster emotional & physical health for everyone involved. Our ambassadors walk alongside you, offering guidance & encouragement, while other parents provide reassurance that you are not alone on this journey! Community Connections offers two different group chats: one general group that is open to everyone & one for men only that is guided by one of our male ambassadors.
