Parents and caregivers of children with autism — check out this opportunity from the EKU Psychology Clinic!

The Compass for Hope (C-Hope) Group is a virtual program designed to support parents and caregivers while building practical skills they can use at home.

C-Hope focuses on understanding your child, developing individualized strategies for challenging behavior, encouraging positive behavior, reducing caregiver stress, and connecting with other parents who understand the journey.

Sessions include a combination of individual appointments and parent group sessions, all held virtually through Zoom for Healthcare. The program is led by EKU clinical psychology and occupational therapy doctoral students under the supervision of Dr. Myrabeth Bundy.

📅 The fall program begins with intake appointments in September, with sessions running October through early December.

See the flyer for the full schedule and registration information.
