Imagine the Impact We Can Make Together in 2023
This year we don't want to have to tell desperate parents "no, we're sorry, we are full." You can help significantly reduce how often that is the case.

Imagine What We Can Do Together in 2023
Friends,
"By bringing my child to the wonderful people at Respite, he is able to socialize, use his imagination, show compassion, and make friends. All while doing it safely. I know he is in good hands at all times. While he is doing these things, mommy and daddy are able to get things done alone or have a date by ourselves, go grocery shopping alone, etc. I'm so thankful for this service."
- He developed positive relationships with peers by taking turns and making non aggressive contact by using words to express dislike or upset.
- He was able to engage with an adult and identify concepts and answer simple questions regarding what he read.
- She reduced tantrum behaviors.
- He reduced the number of violent interactions with peers and siblings.
- He identified the emotions he was feeling by drawing or pointing to a picture or poster.
We were so thankful for the Joyful Friends Winter Camp! Holiday breaks are a challenge because our son Xaiden struggles too much to be in a typical day camp setting. Joyful Friends gave us the opportunity to work undisrupted and time for much-needed respite as well. Our son Xaiden had an amazing time. We saw social growth and improvement in his self-regulation skills after being at camp for two weeks.
