Shades of Motherhood Inc

Business Description

Shades of Motherhood, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to providing emotional support, resources and activities to enhance the well-being of mothers with loved ones on the autism spectrum. We understand the role of a mother of a child with special needs may be twice as hard as her peers given the additional responsibilities of advocating for the needs of loved ones and implementing possible therapies all while managing a household and trying to maintain a sense of personal wellbeing. While mothers differ in their approach to caregiving, having a sense of connectedness with those who are experiencing similar struggles may relieve stress and offer encouragement. Additional supports include group activities organized to promote emotional and physical health as well as volunteer opportunities to promote inclusiveness (e.g., typical alongside those with special needs) and social skills in the community.
