Parent Support Group Meets February 22
Are you a parent or caregiver of a child with a disability? You’re invited to be a part of a Parent Support Group! The group will meet Saturday, February 22, from 10 AM to 12 PM at The Arc’s offices*, located at 13949 West Colfax Ave., Building 1, Suite 150, in Lakewood (across the street from Best Buy). This is a “for parents, by parents” group. All parents and caregivers of children with special needs are welcome, no matter the diagnosis. This will be a safe, welcoming place to talk with other parents, vent, cry, laugh, celebrate "little" milestones, etc. Please email Carrie at specialkids.parentgroup@gmail.com if you’d like to attend! *This support group is not affiliated with The Arc. At this time, childcare will not be provided.
