We're re-posting the below email from Parent to Parent of Wisconsin who wants to be able to support more families whose kids have an Autism diagnosis. If you think you have the capacity to support another parent, register for one of their support parent trainings.

Dear Wisconsin Families:
We are reaching out with an urgent need for volunteer Support Parents who have experience parenting a child with an autism diagnosis.
At Parent to Parent of Wisconsin, we connect parents and caregivers seeking support with trained volunteer Support Parents who have walked a similar journey. Right now, we have several families waiting to be matched with someone who understands the challenges, questions, and successes that come with raising a child on the autism spectrum. This year we have seen an increase in requests for support and some of our trained Support Parents are on a personal pause from supporting so this creates a need for additional trained Support Parents in our Parent to Parent network.
If you are a parent or caregiver of a child with autism and are willing to share your experiences, encouragement, and understanding with another family, we would love to hear from you. A simple conversation can provide hope, reassurance, and valuable support to a parent who may be feeling overwhelmed or isolated.
As a Support Parent, you will:
• Offer emotional support and encouragement.
• Share your personal experiences and resources.
• Help families feel connected and understood.
• Make a meaningful difference in another family's journey.
• Help families expand their community and support system.
Many Support Parents have found that sharing their experiences with other parents creates a mutually beneficial and enriching connection.
Our need is immediate and your willingness to volunteer could help reduce the wait time for families who are currently seeking support.
If you are interested in becoming a Support Parent or would like more information about the role and training process, please contact us or attend one of our Support Parent trainings . We have two trainings coming up on August 15th and 18th. If neither of those dates work for you, we have more scheduled throughout the year.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to give back and support another family. Your experience and compassion can make a lasting impact.
Sincerely,
Parent to Parent of Wisconsin 🩷

Wisconsin Office of Children's Mental Health has two Feelings Thermometers to help children of all ages, and their families, begin to identify their feelings and learn ways to shift their mood when things get tough or behaviors are challenging. Experts agree the first step to managing your emotions is to identify how you are feeling. Give it a try with a child in your life!
If you need support finding a provider or connecting with services, reach out to the CRC-SE and speak with a children's resource guide.

Did you know that July is Disability Pride Month? The Disability Pride Flag was created by Ann Magill in 2016 and updated with input from those with disabilities in 2021 to the current design. Each stripe has a meaning: Red - physical disabilities
Gold - neurodiversity
White - invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed
Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression
Green - for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities
