About The Compassion Collective

At the heart of The Compassion Collective lies a profound and personal journey that gave birth to this transformative initiative. Founded by Sher Griffin, a late-discovered neurodivergent individual, The Compassion Collective emerged from the crucible of self-discovery, academic exploration, and the desire to bridge the gap in community support for neurodivergent individuals. Sher's late-diagnosed autistic identity, coupled with experiences of rejection, alcohol use disorder, and recovery, became the catalyst for the creation of a space where inclusivity, connection, and true belonging are not just principles but a way of life.

Our mission at The Compassion Collective is to foster inclusivity, compassion, self-discovery, and community actualization. We envision a future where every individual, regardless of neurodivergence or background, can confidently declare, "I belong." Our values guide us in creating a supportive environment that celebrates diversity, promotes self-discovery, and actively nurtures a sense of belonging. We believe in building a world where compassion knows no bounds, and every voice contributes to the co-creation of a thriving and interconnected community.
