Mocha Matters
Join our Virtual Support Group for Families of Color, a welcoming space created to connect, support, and empower families with loved ones on the autism spectrum. This monthly gathering provides an opportunity to share experiences, build community, and access valuable resources in an inclusive and understanding environment.
Hosted by Spectrum Autism Support Group, these virtual parent meetings take place on the fourth Wednesday of each month and feature guest speakers who offer insight and expertise on a wide range of topics related to Autism Spectrum Disorder.
While this group is designed to uplift and reach families of color, all families are welcome to join the conversation, learn, and grow together.
