Respite offers parents and caregivers of children, youth, and adults with an intellectual disability the opportunity to take a much-needed break, recharge, and focus on their own well-being—knowing their loved one is receiving safe, compassionate, and supportive care.

 

Family Support Coordinators work directly with families to:

• Assist with applications for respite funding

• Develop individualized respite solutions that fit each family’s unique needs

• Collaborate with community partners to create inclusive opportunities for children

 

We are committed to building community capacity and helping families connect to enriching and inclusive opportunities.
