Respite Care

At Resilient Children and Families, our commitment to meaningful support led us to establish the Respite Care Program (RCP). Recognizing the limited availability of respite care nationwide, we aimed to address the pressing needs of families managing children with serious emotional and behavioral challenges or developmental disabilities. Beyond our core services of assessment, testing, evaluation, treatment, and diagnosis, RCP stands as a vital resource, providing assistance to families in navigating the demands and alleviating the stresses associated with their unique journeys.

WHAT IS RESPITE CARE?

How Does Respite Care Benefit My Family:

Empowering Caregivers Beyond the Role:

Respite care offers caregivers more than just a break; it provides them with valuable opportunities to fulfill additional responsibilities, fostering personal growth and balance.

Positive Social Experiences Beyond Home:

For the child, respite care is more than a break—it's a chance to engage in positive social experiences outside the home environment. This enriching exposure contributes to their overall development and well-being.

Stress Reduction for Individuals and the Family Unit:

Respite care is a powerful stress-reliever, benefitting both the individual receiving care and the entire family unit. By providing moments of relief, it contributes to a healthier and more harmonious family dynamic.

Enhanced Family Interactions:

Beyond meeting the needs of the individual, respite care extends its impact to the entire family. Siblings and other children in the family gain increased opportunities to interact with their caregivers/parents, fostering stronger family connections and support networks.
