A FRIENDLY WARNING:
Spend a week inside The Support Circle and you may find yourself
wanting to hang out a little longer, thinking, 
"Oh.. these are my PEOPLE."

OPEN HOUSE WEEK

Come

You might be reading this as a parent or caregiver, holding the day-to-day weight at home.

Or as an educator, trying to meet real needs inside real constraints.

Or as a professional or practitioner, doing thoughtful work while wishing it carried more fully into daily life.

OPEN HOUSE WEEK

The Support Circle's

A gentle, one-week opportunity to explore shared support ... at your own pace.

Different roles.
Shared care.
Shared exhaustion.

I’ve lived this from every angle. This space exists because I needed something that didn’t exist yet.

This is a week that helps you to answer ONE question:

“Is this the right space for me to find my people?”

Inside, you’ll find:
  • language that helps make sense of what’s happening
  • conversations that reduce blame instead of redistributing it
  • space to orient before trying to fix anything
  • support that acknowledges nervous systems ... not just strategies
There is nothing you need to prepare, perform, or prove.

You’re welcome to simply listen, read, notice, and leave with more clarity than you arrived with.

Open House Week

is a low-pressure way to step inside
The Support Circle
and see how shared support can work across roles.

You might already be carrying more than you have words for.

You might be tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.

You might be trying to hold everything together while telling yourself you shouldn’t need help.

Nothing about that disqualifies you.

This space isn’t here to give you more to do, more to fix, or more to feel guilty about.
It’s here to help things make sense ... without judgment, urgency, or pressure.

YOU DON'T NEED:





You just need to be supporting someone who experiences the world differently ... and feeling the weight of that.

That’s enough to belong.
If You're hesitating,
that makes sense.

  • more energy
  • more time
  • a diagnosis
  • a certain level 
        of overwhelm
enter open house week

Because you’ve been at capacity for so long it feels normal now.

"I'm already stretched thin."

Because belonging has always felt conditional for you.

"I'm not sure i belong here."

Because you’re already making impossible choices about what gets care and what doesn’t.

"I can't afford this."

Because you don’t trust yourself to survive another place that promises support and delivers judgment.

"Spaces like this become toxic."

Because you’re holding everything together on fumes.

"I don't have energy for this."

Because the days blur together and you can’t remember the last time anything felt easier.

"I don't have time for this."

If you’re exhausted, unsure, or quietly wondering whether you belong ... that’s part of the story.
And there's room for it here.

The Support Circle'S

Support was never meant to be a luxury that feels out of reach.


Because postponing your support also has a cost. 

  • waking up and honestly not knowing how you’re supposed to make it through another day like this.

  • learning to put your own support on hold, telling yourself you’ll get to it once everyone else is okay.

  • getting through days with no backup, no safety net, and no one to tap in when you can’t anymore.

  • being the default for coordinating care and decisions for everyone else, with nowhere for that weight to go but your shoulders.

  • carrying responsibility that was never meant for one person.

  • staying exactly where you are, even as it becomes harder to breathe under the weight.

  • continuing without support, and paying for it with your sleep, your patience, and the way you talk to yourself.

  • waking up already exhausted, wondering how you’re supposed to make it through one more day.

Support doesn’t fix everything.

But it makes it possible to keep going without carrying it all yourself.

Come sit with us
What is that cost?
OPEN HOUSE WEEK

No pressure. No ongoing commitment. Just a week to explore.

I've made Open House Week intentionally simple and affordable because support shouldn’t feel like a luxury that is out of your reach.

This space is rooted in neurodiversity-affirming, dignity-centered support for autistic and neurodivergent people as well as and the parents, educators, and professionals who support them.

Understanding doesn’t change a person.
But it does change how a person is supported.
