Who
we are

The PDA Nook is a warm, inclusive space created by PDA parents, for PDA parents-a place to gather, be seen, and exhale.

Founded and facilitated by Deborah Meggitt, a trained PDA North America Support Leader and fellow parent. Deborah holds an MA in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy, and brings a trauma-informed, nervous system-aware lens grounded in lived experience and deep compassion.

We come together as the experts of our individual PDA journeys-to share, to co-regulate, and to remember we are not alone.
