Volunteer Respite Care
Volunteer Respite Care is the temporary care of a child with special needs so parents or other caregivers can have a needed break. Families involved in this program are under stress from the daily demands of the exceptional care required of raising a child with special needs. Individualized care is given on an ongoing basis by a volunteer provider.
Family resource centers
Children's Service Society has a network of family resource centers throughout the state that is dedicated to providing the education and resources parents need to build healthy family relationships. These centers are cooperative efforts in which many community agencies work together to provide all families with informational resources and support.
Family visiting
The goal of family visiting is to offer all new parents supportive services through home visitation. Working in collaboration with public health departments, trained home visitors also coordinate access to an array of community-based services.
