Next session August 20th • 12 – 1 pm
Navigating the complexities of caring for individuals with neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and more can be both deeply rewarding and immensely challenging. For caregivers, the journey is often marked by a unique set of hurdles and triumphs, requiring not just patience and dedication, but also understanding and specialized knowledge.
This support group, led by therapist, Hannah Schonewill, offers a nurturing space for caregivers to share experiences, insights, and coping strategies.
In our meetings, you’ll find solace in knowing you are not alone. We’ll discuss practical tips for improving daily routines, managing behavioral differences, and accessing resources like specialized therapies and educational support. Beyond practical advice, we’ll foster a sense of community where mutual support and empathy thrive.
Neurodivergence affects not just those diagnosed, but their entire support network. Our group aims to empower you with the knowledge and resilience needed to navigate this journey effectively. Together, we celebrate milestones, share setbacks, and reinforce the belief that every individual, regardless of neurodivergent traits, deserves understanding, respect, and the opportunity to flourish.

All The Broken Places by John Boyne
Starts September 15th • 6 – 7:15 pm
Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same well-to-do mansion block in London for decades. She lives a quiet, comfortable life, despite her deeply disturbing, dark past. She doesn’t talk about her escape from Nazi Germany at age 12. She doesn’t talk about the grim post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn’t talk about her father…
Senior Life Coach Claire Price returns this fall to lead another thought-provoking book club—once again choosing a work from one of her favorite authors, John Boyne. If you missed the last one, here’s your chance to join in. Claire gravitates toward books that push readers to explore every facet of the human experience, from its lightest moments to its heaviest truths. The conversations that follow are rich, soul-searching, and ultimately enlightening.
This time, we’ll be reading All The Broken Places. The story moves between Gretel’s childhood in wartime Germany and her present-day life in London, where the shadows of her past still linger. As an adult, Gretel stands at a crossroads eerily similar to one she faced long ago. Back then, she turned away from her own complicity. Now, confronted with a chance to save a young boy, she must decide whether to expose the secrets she has guarded for a lifetime.
With its themes of complacency, courage, guilt, friendship, and love, this novel challenges us to consider how we respond when life places us in difficult, defining moments.
