Caring for your teen’s needs shouldn’t come at the expense of your own well-being. In this workshop, we’ll explore practical self-care strategies for parents and caregivers, ways to balance the needs of siblings, and how to reduce overall family stress. You’ll also learn how to build a strong support network so your family can thrive together—because when you take care of yourself, you’re better able to support your child.
With Gabriele Nicolet, MA, CCC-SLP, of Complicated Kids
This virtual presentation is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Gabriele Nicolet, MA, CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist, parent coach, podcast host, and founder of Complicated Kids—a practice devoted to helping families thrive by supporting the growth of neurodivergent children and the people who love them. For over two decades, Gabriele has walked alongside parents who are navigating the emotional and logistical complexities of raising children with developmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and speech and language delays. Her work combines evidence-based developmental expertise with deep compassion, meeting families exactly where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Gabriele has a rare gift for decoding children’s behavior and translating it into actionable insights for caregivers. Her approach is grounded in neuroscience and child development, but it’s also warm, real, and practical. She believes that when parents feel supported—not judged—they become the calm, confident leaders their children need. Gabriele empowers parents to shift from frustration and self-doubt to connection and hope. She helps caregivers reframe “problem behaviors” as developmental signals and equips them with tools to create more ease, understanding, and joy at home.
Gabriele is also the host of the Complicated Kids Podcast and a frequent speaker at parenting events, conferences, and schools. Her message is consistent: your child is not broken—and neither are you. Together, you can do this.
When she’s not working with families, Gabriele enjoys long walks, good books, and strong coffee. She lives in Washington, D.C., and is the proud parent of two mostly-grown children from whom she continues to learn life’s most important lessons.
