For our June AIM Meetup, we are excited to have Art Eats join us at the Brookline Teen Center a Taste of Memory Workshop!
Taste of Memory is a hands-on, sensory workshop where we will explore how food connects to our memories and emotions. What does home taste like? What flavors remind you of family, celebrations, or special moments? Through tasting, creating, and sharing stories, we’ll use food as a way to express ourselves and connect with others in a fun and welcoming space. Come join us for a delicious journey through memory!
Parents & Caregivers – Stay and Connect During AIM!
Parents and caregivers are invited to stay for the Parent & Caregiver Session which will take place in a conference room at the Brookline Teen Center. We will wrap up the group by continuing to discuss transition-related topics, share resources, and brainstorm for next year’s group! Snacks and drinks will be served.
AIM Meetups ARE drop off events. Parents and caregivers are not obligated to stay for the Parent & Caregiver Session.
