Funding for our Parent Support Groups is provided by the Delta Dental Foundation of Arkansas.
Parent Support Group
Community Connections, in collaboration with Share The Love and Plaza Frida, hosts a monthly in-person support group for both English & Spanish-speaking parents/caregivers. These gatherings are a great chance to share stories and get tips and encouragement from fellow parents raising children with special needs.

GroupMe App - Parent Support & Encouragement
The Community Connections group chats through the GroupMe App is another tool available for parents/caregivers of children with special needs. We strive to maintain a trustworthy place to foster emotional & physical health for everyone involved. Our mentors walk alongside you, offering guidance & encouragement, while other parents provide reassurance that you are not alone on this journey! Community Connections offers two different group chats: one general group that is open to everyone & one for men only that is guided by one of our male mentors.
Click on the link below to be added to one of the Community Connections GroupMe chats & our Director, Anna Valenzuela, will contact you.
