This is an online event.Are you looking for support during these uncertain times? Sheltering in place can be extra challenging with intense, sensitive kids.
Since we can't meet in person right now, please join our weekly online support groups for parents of gifted/2e school-age children and teens. Led by Dr. Lisa White and Dr. Ellena Chen, we will discuss how we and our children are handling the stresses of social distancing and sheltering in place, and share resources on making this time easier for everyone. We will use Google Meet for confidential discussion. Group is limited to 10 members.
Group participation costs $120 per person for the 3 sessions. Pre-registration is required. Register early as space is limited. Sessions will be refunded if shelter-in-place order is lifted.
