Leadership Vision
Leadership serves to help the community that you work with to overcome self-doubt and to realize their full agency in changing their future.
Project Description
Family Friends, which first occurred in fall 2016, is a series of mindfulness-based workshops which brings together families with children with autism spectrum disorder and offers them support and mindfulness tools to better their everyday experiences. We hope to expand the pilot to serve more families on the spectrum and also to include families with children who do not face these developmental challenges. Using mindfulness as a medium for connectedness and growth, families embark on their journeys side-by-side and form relationships which transcend societal barriers — nationality, religion, and developmental challenges.
