At Family Resource Network, we recognize that during these difficult times, families of individuals with special needs are facing unique challenges and may feel even more isolated While we can’t meet in-person to support one another, we invite you to join us for online support groups. These will be conducted through Zoom Meetings, and families may participate online or by phone. We are offering these groups as an opportunity for families to form
connections, support, and learn from each other. We will be offering two groups per week: one morning and one evening.
Registration is required.

For questions, or to participate by phone, please call Robin at (607)287-6358.
***Support Groups are funded by a grant from the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities. Self-directing families will need to add
“training groups” to their budgets. Please contact Robin at (607)287-6358 for assistance adding this program to your budget.
