Haven: A support group for caregivers of children with neurodiversity

At arc programs, we know that parenting doesn’t come with a manual—especially when you’re caring for a child with neurodiversity or support needs. The path is full of love, learning, and sometimes, loneliness. That’s why we’re creating space for connection, compassion, and community through Haven: a new support group for parents and caregivers.

Haven is not just a support group—it’s a place to land. A place where your experiences are understood, your voice is valued, and your journey is shared with others who get it. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, feeling isolated, or just need a place to exhale, Haven offers a safe and welcoming circle where you can show up as you are.

Who is it for?

Parents and caregivers of children with neurodiversity or support needs—whether newly navigating services or seasoned advocates.
