• Individual Counseling – This program pays for eight sessions of professional counseling directly related to caregiving.
• Access to Respite Services – Respite care provides you with a short-term break from caregiving. It lets you rest and feel less stressed. We can help you find respite care that can be provided in your home or at another location.
• Help Finding Services – Our Relatives as Parents Program worker can help you find services for your caregiving needs.
• Supplemental Services – These services are based on what you need. Examples include tutoring, driver’s education, car seats, and swimming lessons.
