ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
Do you need a break?
Join us on the first Monday of every month at our office and participate in our Wind-Down Nights support group! We will be providing respite care for parents and caregivers who would like to spend some time asking questions or talking through their issues as a group. This is a time for parents and caregivers to relax and ask any questions they have on their mind.
Our staff members will be present to help you with your questions and concerns. This is a great opportunity to build our community and support one another—Remember, every question you have is important, as it affects not only your loved ones, but also your personal well-being! Come out to chat, ask questions, or just take a break and talk with us.
Attendees are required to remain at the event as long as respite care is being provided for their child/care recipient.
Contact us with any questions you may have, and we hope to see you there!
