There is still time to support Buddy Bags for the Saint Peter Police Department! Thank you Mankato Free Press for sharing this important message.

ST. PETER — For parents of a child with autism, a moment of chaos that would lead to police interaction is anybody’s worst nightmare.

The Growth Collective is proud to partner with the Saint Peter Police Department to support neurodivergent children in our community during times of crisis.

We’re donating Buddy Bags—carefully curated kits filled with communication supports, sensory tools, and a neurodiversity-affirming guide designed to help first responders understand when, why, and how to use the items to reduce stress and increase comfort.

These bags are more than just tools—they’re a bridge for connection, regulation, and compassionate care.

Together, we’re creating a safer, more inclusive community for autistic and neurodivergent kids. 💪✨

Behavior is only the tip of the iceberg. Our expertise in child development allows us to identify the factors that contribute to behavior in a more comprehensive manner.
