Program Description

We get it. Being a parent or caregiver of a neurodivergent child can leave you feeling isolated. You may have problems finding resources or are unsure of how to navigate services. There seems to be no playbook. Or you may have the feeling that no one "gets it."

Join us for Brilliant Mornings, a warm and welcoming monthly gathering designed just for parents and caregivers like you.

At Brilliant Mornings, we brew up more than just great coffee. We're serving a hearty blend of support, resources, and community connection in a relaxed, positive atmosphere.

Each month, we'll tackle pressing topics such as:

  • Navigating service funding and appeals

  • Understanding developmental stages

  • Mastering the IEP process

  • Ensuring safety through 911 registration and police interaction

  • Surviving and thriving during holidays

  • And much more!

Details:

  • Date: Every 3rd Saturday of the month

  • Time: 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM

  • Location: 2100 E Kenwood Blvd, Milwaukee, WI 53211

  • Next Event: Saturday November 16
