SUMMARY:Self Compassion Support Group
DESCRIPTION:SFASA Self-Compassion Support Group for Parents and Caregivers of Kids with Autism and other Developmental Disorders \nSelf-compassion flows from the desire to alleviate our own suffering. Sometimes this requires tender acceptance — being with ourselves in all our glorious imperfections. At other times\, self-compassion isn’t soft or yielding—sometimes we need to be fierce\, stand up for ourselves\, or find the courage to forge a new path. This is especially true if you are a mama or papa bear caring for a child who is challenged by autism and/or other developmental disorders.  This series of support group sessions will provide you the opportunity to: \n\nidentify and embody the three components of self-compassion: kindness\, mindfulness (including mindful movement)\, and common humanity;\ndevelop skills for responding in a compassionate way whenever you or your child suffers;\nexplore the role of tender and fierce self-compassion;\npractice strategies to soothe and comfort yourself and your child in order to handle difficult emotions with greater ease\, but also to draw boundaries\, fight against injustice\, or motivate change;\nIdentify and self-reflect on your journey as a caregiver and find common humanity with others.\n\nWhere: On Zoom\nWho: Parents and Caregivers of ASD kids and related developmental disorders\nWhen: 7-9 p.m.\nFor questions:  Contact the group facilitator\, Sara Kole at: president@sfautismsociety.org\nor 408-242-2595 (M)
