Supportive Services

We offer supportive services aimed at assisting families, such as caregiver workshops, support groups, coaching, educational sessions, and our older adult counseling program PEARLS (Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives). These resources are available to all our clients and their families, regardless of the specific Program they are enrolled in.

Furthermore, our Community Supportive Services are designed to promote client independence through skill development and continuous support.

Please check back regularly for the latest updates on our support groups.
