This 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, we rolled out the celebration for the remarkable volunteers who show up for Damar in the biggest ways. Our Volunteer Appreciation Night was more than a thank you, it was a moment to honor the impact, the joy and the lives changed because of our volunteers.

Every hour you give. Every connection you make. Every life you touch. It all adds up to something powerful.

You are the energy behind the mission. The reason moments turn into milestones. The heart of Damar.

And this week, we celebrate YOU. 💙

Maddox’s story is one we were honored to share, and now his family is part of an even broader conversation.

In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month, Chad and Lindsay Sims join Damar President and CEO Dr. Jim Dalton on WTHR’s Parent Squad to talk about autism diagnosis, treatment and the support that can truly make a difference for families.

Watch the conversation.

𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 is about understanding, connection and seeing the world through a different lens.

For Beau, that meant finding new ways to communicate, and for his mom, Kate, it meant learning to listen in a whole new way.

"𝙄 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚… 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝."

Through Damar’s Autism Services, Beau found confidence. Kate found clarity. And together, they found a path forward built on trust, growth and meeting Beau exactly where he is.

Today is all about transformation at Damar and the creativity is everywhere!

As new murals take shape at our Richmond campus, just miles away, a beautiful new piece by local artist Jingo de la Rosa has been installed at our Corporate Headquarters.

Art has a way of bringing not just color, but energy and meaning into the spaces we share, and today is a perfect example of that.

April is 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, a time to move beyond awareness and into action.

Acceptance means creating spaces where individuals with autism feel seen, supported and valued for who they are. It means listening, learning and making room for different ways of thinking, communicating and experiencing the world.

At Damar, we’re proud to walk alongside individuals and families every day, not just in April, but all year long. We are committed to ensuring every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
