☕Caregiver Coffee Club
You’re never alone
A Safe Space to Connect, Share & Learn
Caring for a child or teen with autism or an intellectual disability comes with unique joys and challenges—but you don’t have to face them alone. The Caregiver Coffee Club is a relaxed, no-commitment virtual meetup where parents and caregivers come together to share experiences, find support, and exchange strategies in a welcoming space.
Led by LRCSS facilitators, these informal discussions provide an opportunity to connect with others who truly understand your journey. Whether you’re looking for practical tips, emotional support, or simply a listening ear, this group is here for you.
