Who is this for?

If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or just looking for real support while caring for kids—whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, aide, nanny, or family friend—you belong here.

All neurotypes, backgrounds, identities, and family structures are actively welcomed. You don't have to "fit" any mold. You just need curiosity, a desire for genuine support, and a hope for more ease in your caregiving journey.

What's Different?

• First of its kind in Okotoks: A neurodivergence-affirming, body-based community program designed specifically for those supporting children and families.

• Not just another support group: This is not about fixing anyone, forced sharing, or prescriptive growth. We build capacity, model resilience, and practice authentic self-care, together.

• Deep wisdom, practical tools: Every session translates nervous system stories—stress, joy, burnout, belonging—into usable, everyday skills. You leave with tools, not just talk.

• For the whole system: When you grow, your child, family, and community witness and learn by example. Real change happens not by discipline, but through demonstration.

Grounded in The Berkana Approach

Every session incorporates our five foundational pillars—Root, Repattern, Reframe, Relate, and Rhythm—helping you build sustainable capacity in all areas of your life.

Weekly Membership Includes:

• Arrival & check-in: Permission to be fully yourself, regulated or not. There's no "right way" to show up.

• Practical weekly topic—always relevant (think: managing transitions, setting boundaries, navigating sensory overwhelm, finding mini-moments of rest).

• Somatic practice for every body: Guided movement, breath, co-regulation, and nervous system-friendly routines—always adapted to comfort, ability, and need.

• Integration: Each member receives reflection prompts, rituals, and take-home strategies designed for real life and offered without expectation.

• Ongoing support: Member-only online library, group chat, Q&A sessions, and resources for in-between weeks.

• Optional respite childcare: Supervised by The Point, with staff trained in inclusive, high-needs, and neurodivergent support. Advance registration requested; FSCD-eligible.

  Attendance is Flexible

  • Register for each session so we can plan for childcare and group size—but attend as often as works for you

  • Come weekly, or 2–3 times a month—whatever fits your life

  • Access all handouts, resources, and session materials anytime via the member portal

  • No pressure, no "catching up," no falling behind—just continuous support at your pace

How Childcare Works:

During weekly gatherings, childcare is available via The Point.

• Trained staff support neurotypical and high-needs children with care and understanding.

• Register and pay for childcare directly with The Point (link provided in session confirmation email).

• For families with FSCD (Family Support for Children with Disabilities) funding, costs may be eligible for coverage.

• Please notify The Point in advance about your child's support needs so staffing ratios and specialized planning can serve everyone best.

Group Benefits & Experience:

• Learn actionable somatic skills for calming overwhelm, handling busy days, and building capacity (not just talking about stress).

• Connect with others who truly understand—share, listen, or simply be present. No forced sharing or pressure.

• Gain clarity, confidence, and practical tools at your own pace.

• Experience a strengths-focused, invitational, and light environment where laughter, brainstorming, and "real-life" approaches are welcomed.

• Honor your own wiring and model resilience for your kids and community—while surrounded by others on the same journey.

Who can join?

Anyone supporting, parenting, teaching, or caring for children or families—neurodivergent, neurotypical, and those who love and support all kinds of wiring.
