SUMMARY:Parents Night Out: Helping Our Young Adults Cope\, Connect\, and Thrive
DESCRIPTION:New Year\, New Growth. As we kick off the year\, we invite our Friendship Circle Parents to join our ZABS families along with other parents to an evening dedicated to the emotional well-being and future independence of our young adults. \nNavigating the transition to adulthood is complex. Finding mental health professionals who deeply understand the unique nuances of the I/DD community is even harder. That is why we are thrilled to welcome Michele Mattox\, LCSW of No Limits Counseling & Coaching to ZABS Place. \nMichele brings over 20 years of experience in direct care roles within the disability community. She moves beyond traditional therapy to focus on empowerment\, safety\, and tangible skill-building. \nIn this session\, we will explore: \nRelationship Coaching: How to help our young adults build healthy\, safe\, and meaningful social connections. \nLife Transitions: Strategies for navigating the shift toward greater independence. \nEmotional Wellness: Tools to support growth\, confidence\, and mental health specifically for neurodiverse individuals.
