Free Event for Moms of Children with Autism: Southwest Houston's 2nd Annual Mom's Mingle Casino Night


HOUSTON, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Therapy and Beyond, one of the largest ABA providers across Texas, will present Southwest Houston's 2nd Annual Mom's Mingle for 100+ mothers of children with autism on September 10th, 2019 at Safari Texas Ranch in Houston, TX. Each year, Therapy and Beyond partners with local organizations to throw Mom's Mingles in multiple cities, where 100+ moms of children on the autism spectrum gather to enjoy a night off from their busy schedules. Registration for this popular event opened on Friday, August 9th, and filled up in just a few hours.

About the Mom's Mingles
For this year's Southwest Houston Mingle, Therapy and Beyond has partnered with the nonprofit group Hope for Three to bring the first ever Casino Night Mom's Mingle to the Houston autism community. 100+ moms will enjoy free food, drinks, raffle prizes, casino-themed games, and most importantly, immerse themselves in their local community of women on the same journey as themselves. According to the CDC, about 1 in 59 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). At times, caregivers may find themselves feeling isolated and lost. The Mom's Mingles aim to share resources, connect mothers with their local communities, and give moms a night off to let their hair down.

"Hope For Three is thrilled to partner with Therapy and Beyond for the 2nd Annual Mom's Mingle Casino Night! The evening provides moms with children on the autism spectrum a fabulous night of fun, games, and friendship. Teaming up with community partners who understand the challenges moms face brings new perspectives to the event. The collaboration to create this spectacular night offers moms something they may sometimes seldom receive; laughter, acceptance, fellowship and a place to feel safe & relax! Moms can dress up, or down, gamble, network, win gifts, prizes and share time with others on the same journey." - Hope For Three

The mingles first began in Dallas in 2013, when Dr. Regina Crone, founder of Therapy and Beyond, had the idea to create a community giveback that didn't focus on a workshop or learning a new skill, but would simply give moms the opportunity to bond and have an amazing night out. The event was so successful that Therapy and Beyond began to establish annual Mom's Mingles in other cities, such as Denver, Oklahoma City and Houston.

About Therapy and Beyond
Therapy and Beyond was founded in 2006 on the principal that there is hope for every child. Today, they provide 1:1 individualized ABA therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most commonly prescribed treatment for children on the spectrum, and focuses on expanding functional communication skills, executive functioning skills, and advancing each child's independence. In addition to helping individuals on the spectrum through ABA, one of Therapy and Beyond's goals is to find ways to give back to the autism community as a whole, through free events like the Mom's Mingles.
