A community gathering for caregivers
Coffee & Convos
Coffee & Convos is a relaxed, in-person meet-up for parents and caregivers raising children with disabilities. It’s a space to pause, exhale, and talk with people who understand the daily realities of caregiving.
What Coffee & Convos Offers
At each gathering, parents set the tone. Conversations unfold naturally based on what people bring to the room—questions, experiences, frustrations, victories, challenges, and everyday moments.
Parents come because they want:
- A space where they don’t have to explain their situation
- Other caregivers who “get it” without needing background
- Space to speak freely and be heard
- A moment of relief from the constant demands of caregiving and parenting
- Community that grows over time
It’s supportive without being heavy, and informal without being directionless.
Why Coffee & Convos Matter
Connection is rarely designed into the everyday realities of families navigating disability. Without intentional, low-barrier spaces, opportunities for peer connection are inconsistent or inaccessible. Coffee & Convos offers a consistent place where caregivers don’t have to justify their experiences or manage their emotions alone.
It is a steady point of community—grounded, familiar, and genuinely supportive.
How It Works
- Gatherings are held in accessible, comfortable locations
- Conversations are guided by the interests and needs of those present
- Parents are welcome to share, listen, vent, ask, or simply sit with others
- Light refreshments are provided
The simplicity is intentional. The goal is connection.
