Caring for Children with Complex Needs is a discussion-based support group for caregivers of children with ongoing mental health needs, trauma histories, or challenging behaviors. This group offers a supportive space to connect with other caregivers who are navigating similar challenges and share practical strategies. The group is held on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 4:30–6:00 PM.  Each session is primarily discussion-based, with space to share experiences, ask questions, and offer mutual support.

This group is facilitated by Marley Powden, LICSW and Shannon Porter, MS.
