Supporting individuals with disabilities by empowering their caregivers, while cultivating a community of acceptance and belonging.
Taking Care of the Caregivers
Leveraging intentional self-care retreats and workshops designed for parents and caregivers, with a niche focus on parents of children and adults with disabilities.
Our Mission
Empowered is a privately funded organization committed to strengthening families by equipping parents and caregivers with the support, knowledge, and tools they need to nurture their children’s development and well-being. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are able to offer low- and no-cost workshops and retreats through a sliding scale and scholarship program, ensuring every caregiver, no matter their financial situation, has access to the support they deserve.
Our intentional programming integrates self-care, reflection, and practical knowledge, fostering emotionally healthy caregivers who are better equipped to support their children. We specialize in serving families through all phases of development, including the transition to adulthood and employment, with a focus on neurodivergent individuals.
Our Model
What sets Empowered apart is our unique retreat and workshop approach, designed to promote parenting efficacy, caregiver wellness, and lasting community connection. We aim to create lasting impact for families while helping you care for yourself and build your parenting tribe. We believe in the power of a positive feedback loop: When caregivers prioritize their own well-being, they are better equipped to model, teach, and promote healthy habits for the children they nurture.
