Want a community of moms who get it?

The Continued Support membership is a group of moms who meet 3 out of 4 Mondays a month to support each other in raising complex kids in Jewish Communities around the world. It is a place for information, resources, accountability, friendship and fun!

Raising a complex child is, well, complex. We get it. 

You are Not alone.

What do you get?

“I’ve been in the group for three years now and I really feel like I am raising my children with the other women in this group!...At times it has been a real lifeline.”

Who can join?

To join, you must have completed Hidden Differences, The Connection Course or DEEP Dive Into Parenting Complex Kids. This requirement ensures that all of the moms in the group are on the same page using a strengths-based, problem-solving approach to raising complex kids.

Hi, I’m Ilyssa

I‘m a Psychologist and Parent Educator. But my greatest achievement and most important credential is my five unique and wonderful kids.

I believe behind every child’s greatest struggle is his greatest strength. And behind every parent’s greatest struggle is her greatest strength. I’m passionate about helping parents uncover those strengths and connect to their most difficult children.

​

After training as a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara and studying developmental psychology at Stanford University I thought I was super prepared to be a mommy. Little did I know….

​

My personal journey as the parent of a child with multiple hidden differences has given me deep compassion for parents raising complex kids. I know what it feels like to raise a child that popular parenting books are just not written for.

I can’t wait for you to immerse yourself in the wisdom, information and tools our community can offer.
