🌿 Introducing Teepee Village - A Sanctuary for Neurodivergent Kids, Teens & Their Families 🌿
Something special is growing in the Lockyer Valley.
And it starts with a question:
What if families didn’t have to travel hours for support that feels safe, respectful, and empowering?
At Tribe & Beyond, we see the weight parents are carrying.
There are over 300 children with autism accessing the NDIS in our region — and likely many more who aren’t, for all kinds of reasons.
Families are doing the drive from Ipswich, from Toowoomba, from everywhere — and it's exhausting.
So we're building a village.
Literally.
Teepee Village will be a safe space for neurodivergent children, teens, and their families — a therapeutic hub grounded in compassion, connection, and community.
Here’s the vision:
🏡 A welcoming home or acreage in the Lockyer Valley
🧠 Services like OT, speech, physio, behavioural psychology & support workers
🎮 Activities for kids and teens: gaming nights, baking days, gardening, animal visits
🌱 A place where ND families feel seen, respected, and never alone
This village will be guided by trauma-informed, neuro-affirming values. A space where differences are celebrated, emotional safety comes first, and every child is met exactly where they are.
Because it takes a village to raise a child — but for too many neurodivergent families, that village can feel out of reach.
Let’s change that. Together.
🫶 Tribe & Beyond
Creating space where ND kids and their families can feel safe, supported, and celebrated.
