Son-Rise Parents Explore Issues & Challenges:

Actual Dialogues between parents and Co-Founder Barry (Bears) Neil Kaufman, recorded live, during The Son-Rise Wide-Awake Program

Is having a child with Autism just about the most challenging situation you’ve ever experienced in your life? Do you feel scared one day, overwhelmed the next? Are you and your child sometimes judged, even deserted, by family members and friends? Do you question whether you’re smart enough, strong enough and even courageous enough to successfully handle this kind of situation?

If you’ve answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you're not alone. Join us, listen to these intimate audio recordings and walk alongside other parents, who in their search for understanding, help all of us reframe our thoughts, feelings and circumstances and create more clarity, peace and inspiration with ourselves and our very, very special children.
