Parenting teens with peers and pros

Struggling with a neurodivergent teenager? You definitely need our parenting Orchid teens support group. Here’s why:

Adolescence is a time of tremendous development. There are MAJOR shifts happening in the brain and body that shake things up substantially. That, alongside all the challenges of having a neurodivergent brain in a world built for neurotypical ones can make things extra tricky for our Orchid teens.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by those changes and like you could use some solidarity from a group of folks who are also going through the Teenage Trials, our Parenting Orchid Teens Support Group is for you.

Parenting a brilliant, sensitive, strong-willed teenager can be a challenge - luckily, Jen and Gabriele have been there, done that! Their Orchid Teen group is a great resource. Getting advice on how to handle difficult situations, or just sharing stories with other parents in a warm, non-judgmental, empathetic space, helped lift my spirits and give me more confidence and patience to parent my Orchid the way she needs, and to better appreciate her perspective. Thank you, ladies, for helping me be a better mom to my amazing Orchid!

I took part in two sessions of the Raising Orchid Teens support group, and I found them to be immensely valuable! Not only did I connect with a community of parents who “get it” (the challenges of raising neurodivergent teens), I learned so much from Gabriele Nicolet and Jen Dryer. These parent coaches are extremely wise, supportive, and empathetic. They have a deep understanding of kids who have higher needs and know how to guide parents to be better parents to their kids. I highly recommend this support group!
