The PDA Safe Circle™

Welcome to The PDA Safe Circle™.
We bring together PDAers and our family members to learn and practice The PDA Safe Circle™, a strengths-based approach to supporting PDAers of all ages to live well in a culture not made for our nervous systems.
By empowering members with simple, concrete tools and a robust neurodivergent-affirming framework, The PDA Safe Circle™ leads to burnout recovery, burnout prevention, and deep acceptance of PDAers and what we need to thrive.
Created by a PDA Autistic adult with a background in community organizing and congregational leadership, this app is a first of its kind.
Inside The PDA Safe Circle™, you’ll find:
A growing, interactive community of PDAers & family members, all learning and practicing this innovative approach together.
The 6 Elements of The PDA Safe Circle™, which comprise a highly actionable, visual, and intuitive model that can be used on a daily basis.
Weekly open office hours with Rabbi Shoshana Meira Friedman, creator of The PDA Safe Circle™.
Supportive peer cohorts designed to create small, transformative communities of practice.
Group discussions where members can share stories, ask questions, and support each other in applying The PDA Safe Circle™ approach.
Opportunities to offer your skills, expertise, & passions to others as we build community.
Whether you’re looking for a trusted network to lean on, insights to better understand PDA, or tools to empower your journey, The PDA Safe Circle™ is your destination.
Join today to learn, connect, and empower yourself and others.
