Neurodivergent Relationships: Practical Tools for Connection, Communication, and Regulation - Damon Bryan, LMFT
Date: September 17, 2026
Time:
6:00pm MDT

Neurodivergent relationships can bring unique strengths as well as challenges around communication, conflict, emotional regulation, sensory needs, and connection. This presentation explores how differences in nervous systems, processing, communication, and executive functioning can shape couple dynamics—and how couples can move from blame and misunderstanding toward curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Participants will learn practical strategies for navigating conflict, supporting regulation, repairing after disconnection, and creating meaningful connection in ways that work for both partners. The presentation will also explore how shared activities and experiences can provide powerful opportunities for connection and co-regulation.

The Coupling Model of Resilience: Strengthening Relationships Under Pressure - Carina Barnum, LCSW, CCTP

Date: September 24, 2026
Time: 6:00pm MDT

This webinar presentation introduces a framework that views resilience as a relational process—where partners intentionally ‘couple’ emotional attunement, validation, and adaptive action. The model highlights how caregivers can remain connected while responding effectively to a child’s anxiety, creating a stabilizing force that promotes both individual and family resilience under stress.
