SFASA Self-Compassion Support Group for Parents and Caregivers of Kids with Autism and other Developmental Disorders - Online/Zoom
Brought to us by San Francisco Bay Area Autism Society
Self-compassion flows from the desire to alleviate our own suffering. Sometimes this requires tender acceptance — being with ourselves in all our glorious imperfections. At other times, self-compassion isn’t soft or yielding—sometimes we need to be fierce, stand up for ourselves, or find the courage to forge a new path. This is especially true if you are a mama or papa bear caring for a child who is challenged by autism and/or other developmental disorders. This series of support group sessions will provide you the opportunity to:
identify and embody the three components of self-compassion: kindness, mindfulness (including mindful movement), and common humanity;
develop skills for responding in a compassionate way whenever you or your child suffers;
explore the role of tender and fierce self-compassion;
practice strategies to soothe and comfort yourself and your child in order to handle difficult emotions with greater ease, but also to draw boundaries, fight against injustice, or motivate change;
Identify and self-reflect on your journey as a caregiver and find common humanity with others.
Where: On Zoom
Who: Parents and Caregivers of ASD kids and related developmental disorders
When: 7-9 p.m.
For questions: Contact the group facilitator, Sara Kole at: president@sfautismsociety.org
