Scroll down for membership options!

The PDA Safe Circle™ has an equity-based membership structure, so everyone can access community and support they need.

• What membership plan should I select?

  • Please select the membership rate below that most closely aligns with your level of financial security. I trust you to self-assess. Thank you for your honesty. You are helping to build an accessible neurodivergent-affirming community that is also financially sustainable for me and my family. 

• I see you have monthly or annual options. What do you recommend?

  • I designed The PDA Safe Circle™ with an annual membership in mind. A year (or more!) will allow you to experience the support, the breakthroughs, the connections, and the mastery of The PDA Safe Circle™ Approach that only time and community can provide. However, you do have the option to pay month to month. 

• I have a partner or co-parent. Do they need their own account?

  • Every individual member needs their own login to access the community. However, if you share finances or you co-parent with another adult they can join without paying. Email me ([email protected]) for the link to the Household Second Member Plan.

• I have a PDA teen. Can they join?

  • Any PDAer or PDA family member 18 or over can join, provided they have the emotional and cognitive capacity to engage in the community and follow our guidelines. Right now I don't have the resources to support younger teens as their own members.
