Are you a parent of a child with special needs or a teacher who is feeling empty and burnt out from all your time running around? Are you and your spouse "trying" to love each other, but can't quite seem to get on the same page? You need and deserve some time for someone else to fill YOU up! We all have different styles of giving and receiving love and sometimes it can be confusing to know how to navigate our needs, especially if you are spending all your time serving others. This workshop is designed to give you some tools to help you identify how to receive love and recognize how others receive love too.
Amie Sharp BeMent is a registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern at The Soul Care House: www.soulcarehouse.com. She loves to come alongside parents and support them and their families and relationships.
Note: While we love and value children, we are unable to accommodate them at this workshop. Please RSVP to Lisa at lisa@autismtreerproject.org or 619-222-4465.
