Thrive Advocacy Group LLC is a collective of professionals who have individually spent their lives in the service of children and families. We each have a unique background and training, which has provided us with enriching experiences in various areas. Some of us have worked directly educating students and developing programs, or developing plans in the community to provide for positive outcomes in life, while others have supported families through crisis situations and have worked to heal trauma. Our collective passion and knowledge has allowed us to come together to build something truly special. Our belief is that like-minded people find each other and are stronger together.

As a group of education consultants, advocates, parent support specialist, and transition advocates, we provide a wide range of services. Some families come to us because their child just received a diagnosis and they are unsure of next steps. Some families come to us in crisis, with either a mental health issue or an education need not being met. Other families come to us for help navigating complex systems, ensuring their child is getting everything they need. Our services extend to supporting families and individuals in navigating the adult systems, whether it's college, a specialized post secondary program, or independent living. In all situations, we develop a plan that looks towards the future and ensures a clear path to success.

Our work is an extension of our lives. Our goal as an organization is to provide exceptional services to families, children, and young adults, with compassion, integrity, respect, competence, and creativity. As a group, we will continue to increase our capacity to provide support and provide greater access to resources. We have made it a mission to offer the community continued education and trainings with our speaking engagements, to provide workshops for educators and parents, and to diversify our staff expertise to provide additional services. We are excited for what the future will bring as we help our clients thrive!
