ABILITY BEYOND DEBUTS VIRTUAL CAREGIVER SERIES

Parents of adult children with special needs have faced great adversity as they lost vital day and employment programs during this COVID-19 crisis. To keep  the 3,000 adults with disabilities served by Ability Beyond engaged and connected, the nonprofit organization has been providing virtual day programs for the people it serves, and is now launching “Caring for the Caregiver,” a series of virtual family meetings that will support  the mental, emotional and physical needs of all family members.
“Many of the families we support rely on our programs 365 days a year,” said Jane Davis, president and CEO of Ability Beyond. “Although we are currently serving 460 people in our residential homes, the suspension of day and employment programs has meant that most of our families have had to figure out how to continue working and managing their days, while also providing the often challenging physical, mental, social and other supports that their adult children need. 
“The sessions were designed for family caregivers, the individuals we serve, along with Ability Beyond staff and board members; however, we are excited to invite all families and individuals not served by Ability Beyond to participate in this valuable program as well,” said Davis.
