DCAutismParents@yahoo.groups. Group for Parents of Children Living with Autism to receive information pertaining to the D.C. Autism Community. EMPOWERED PARENTING!!! Knowing that many of us are weathering the storms, we are seeking to continue to be Empowered Parents. We now have a new name "Empowered Parenting". A group that seeks to support and provide resources for parents and/or guardians of children with Challenging Behavior due to emotional or mental health Issues. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm in the Federation Offices, 13321 New Hampshire Ave. , Terrace Level Suite B, Silver Spring , Md. This month's topic will be "Breaking the Negative Cycle". A subject most of us can relate to as we encounter never ending battles and become worn down by a negative circle. Come and be part of a group that seeks to educate and support families and people struggling to cope due to Mental and Emotional Health issues. The Federation has other groups, however we are targeting the Silver Spring, Wheaton and Takoma Park areas. It would help us plan if you could contact either Michelle Banks on 301 681-8929 or Sheri Verdonk on sverdonk@yahoo.com if you plan to come. A stipend for childcare or transportation may be available upon request. Contact Michelle Banks.
