Gifted Roads ~ Support & Resources for Gifted and Multi-Exceptional People
Exploring Our Own Needs as Gifted and Multi-exceptional Adults
6 Sessions
Tuesdays, Jan 21 - Feb 25, 2025
5:00 - 6:30pm CST
Adulting is hard, even when you've been at it for a while. Gifted and 2e adults often don't have a welcoming space where we can share the ups and downs of being a smart, quirky person in a world that doesn't always understand our intensity or get our jokes. Framed by weekly topics, this discussion series is all about celebrating yourself and the other gifted adults in your life.
Date: Tuesdays, January 21st through February 25th, 2025
Time: 5:00 to 6:30 pm Central Standard Time
Discussion Guides: Carol Malueg and Joan Larson
Cost: $180 per household (parenting and caregiving partners welcome)
Contact support@giftedroads.com for scholarship availability or if you’d like to provide a scholarship for another attendee.
Location: Virtual, using Zoom — a Zoom link will be sent to all participants before the first meeting

What parents have said about Caregiver Conversations:
“This was not the typical powerpoint presentation with following Q&A. The entire process was guided conversations about what participants are facing with each of the points covered in the sessions' agenda and more. We got to know each other in this authentic environment and became more friends than participants. Thank you!” ~ Nichole S.
“This was fabulous; informative, open-minded, supportive and fun.” ~ Nichole S.
