Come
back to
yourself.

In the unplanned journey of extreme parenting,

we take care of the caregivers.

Our retreats help you cultivate a sense of peace, ease, vitality, and courage. 

Families Like Ours supports the wellbeing of parents with special needs children by offering them relief from their overwhelming and stressful caregiving roles.

Weekend retreats are designed to combat the well-documented negative effects of caregiver burden on physical and mental health. In this therapeutic environment, parents can cultivate a sense of peace, ease, normality, vitality, and courage to help them cope with the social isolation, stress, and exhaustion on their caregiving journey.
 

Well be hosting our first Weekend Parent Retreat in Fall 2025 in Oregon!
Registration will be open through this website in May 2025
