Parents!  This in-person retreat was designed just for you! Mark it on your calendar, and line up the babysitters now, so you can treat yourself to this day of connecting and learning! 

This is a day that will benefit you AND your child--we hope you'll join us!

 

Thanks to the generosity of our community partners, this program is once again offered AT NO COST to parents!

This year we are focusing on "Building Strong Relationships" including those with your spouses, family, friends, and community.  Your medical team, your school team, your Early Intervention team.  And, importantly, your relationship with yourself.  You won't want to miss the speakers we are lining up...all experts in their fields and many who can relate as a professional and as a parent.  Join us for this informative, empowering, and fun afternoon!
