SUMMARY:Online and Phone Family Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Please Join the Family Resource Network for Our\nOnline And Phone Family Support Groups:\nAt 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.\nSupport Groups meet every Tuesday evening and the first and third Thursday morning of the month.\n  \nRegistration is required.\nREGISTER HERE\nFor questions\, or to participate by phone\, please call Terry at (607)287-3816.\n***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.***
