Guest: Stephanie Fisher, MHC, LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor Raising children with special needs can be overwhelming and isolating. Parents often feel guilty about the extra support that their family requires so sometimes they try to carry the burden all on their own, believing no one will understand them or no one else is capable. When everything comes crumbling down, doesn't everyone deserve a helping hand? Wolf+Friends' mission is to give chances for communities to grow - where parents and their kids feel safe and accepted. We must understand that building support networks doesn't happen overnight. And in today's episode, I am grateful to have Stephanie Fisher walk us through the types of support system we will need, the importance of a support network, and practical tips to help us identify who we can keep in our inner networks.  As we strive to provide support to our children in their growth, may we realize that we ourselves need to be supported. Nobody deserves to feel isolated. Listen with us and together, we will learn to grow our own support networks.  Episode Highlights: Different types of support system that every parent needs Barriers faced by parents in acquiring the support system they need Ways to overcome barriers to growing your support system The importance of having a support system Additional resources to add to your support system in addition to friends and family Stephanie shares her experience in building a support group for her son Resources Mentioned During This Episode: DotCom Therapy Connect with Wolf+Friends Website | wolfandfriends.com Download the App | Apple Download the App | Google Instagram | @wolfandfriends.community

At Consciously Unbiased we believe we are all different; we all belong. Our differences can also be our greatest strengths. Not everyone has strengths that can check a box during the interview process. April is World Autism Month. In this special episode of Breaking the Bias, Director of Content Holly Corbett interviewed different voices who advocate for neurodiversity, which is the idea that neurological differences, such as autism, dyslexia and ADHD, are a natural variation in the human population, and that neurodiverse people bring unique strengths to the workplace and the world. With approximately 1% of the global population on the autism spectrum alone, for example, companies who ignore this talent pool are missing out. There are benefits to hiring people with cognitive differences. There is strength in building teams where everyone doesn’t think the same, and some neurodiverse people may excel in areas such as pattern recognition and attention to detail as compared with neurotypical people. That’s why many companies—including SAP, EY, and Microsoft—are revising their HR programs to attract and retain neurodiverse talent. In this episode you’ll hear from Dr. Stephen Shore, who was diagnosed with autism as a child and recommended to be institutionalized. Today Dr. Shore is a professor at Adelphi University and travels the world speaking to audiences about self-advocacy for those on the spectrum. He is also the author of more than five books. You'll also hear from Hiren Shukla, founder of EY’s NeuroDiversity Center of Excellence; Gena Mann, co-founder of Wolf + Friends, an app that is like a meet-up for the parents of kids with special needs, as well as other voices.

In this conversation host Mary Susan McConnell speaks with Gena Mann, co-founder of the app Wolf+Friends. Wolf+Friends is a social networking site for women raising children with special needs. Gena speaks with Mary Susan about her own story raising multiple children with autism and how the app came to be. Thank you Gena for an amazing conversation!

Carissa Tozzi and Gena Mann are longtime friends and the lifestyle savvy women behind Wolf + Friends, an app for moms raising children with special needs. Before motherhood, Carissa had a thriving career in celebrity casting and PR. She worked with media brands like Refinery29, Seventeen and Cosmo Girl. Her life changed when she was told that her son Wolf, who's neurotypical had some sensory issues and needed extra support in the classroom. Carissa wanted her son to live the best life he possibly could, but thought existing materials and resources were not inspiring. She then teamed up with her friend Gena, whose two sons were diagnosed with autism. Together, these warrior moms created an uplifting and judgment free platform where moms raising kids with special needs can connect and find the support they deserve.   Check out: https://www.wolfandfriends.com If our podcast resonates with you, please don't forget to leave us a rating and review!
