An Important Message from Our Founder

Evolution in Action:

The Village Well Doubles Down on Disability Support & Asks for Your Referrals


Dear Community,

In the three years since I started The Village Well, I’ve worked with thousands of families, educators, and youth service providers to understand kids with big feelings and big behaviors. The majority of these kids have at least one disability; usually neurodiversity, a sensory processing challenge, a mental health diagnosis, or past trauma.

Often families are navigating a complex combination of these across the adults and kids in the household. Over the next few months, The Village Well will officially evolve into an organization that works with families, schools, and organizations to support kids with disabilities. You’ll see this reflected on our website, our social media presence, the workshops we offer, the partnerships we forge.

Here’s the request: You have a sister, cousin, bestie, or colleague who is raising a kid with a disability. Please connect us to them! You are connected to a school or organization that supports kids with disabilities. Maybe they are struggling to figure out how to provide the right level of inclusive care. Connect me! About 75% of our work comes through connections and referrals.

Thanks for supporting evolution.

What won’t change: We are still committed to serving families of color through culturally relevant work. We will always support families in our diverse forms: single parents, grandparents raising kids, queer families, foster families, blended families.

We continue to help schools and organizations work with kids with big feelings and big behaviors - now we offer a more precise “why” for these kids, and better strategies to support them.

It’s been an amazing three years. We are just getting started.

Thanks for walking this journey with us.

Be Well!
