These workshops will utilize group activities designed to increase children's understanding of developmental disabilities and their own sibling's challenges, encourage appropriate expression of emotional reactions to stressful events, and provide children with emotional support from their peers. The group will met on Tuesdays for six weeks starting April 11, 2000. For more information and to register please call Abbie Smith, L.C.S.W. at 346-2636.
Group size is limited to eight children.
We are lucky to have two support groups for parents of children in Lane County, one that will meet in the day time and one that will meet in the evening. Abbie Smith, Licensed Clinical Social Worker at CDRC, is offering a free support group for parents who have a child with a chronic or life threatening illness, condition or disability. If you would like more information, please call Abbie Smith, at 346-2626 Monday through Thursday. May. This group, begun in the winter, has been very well attended so a decision was made to continue the group through the spring. Free child care will be provided, but please call Rachel at 346-3568 if you are new to the group.
