Have an adult male mountain bike you are no longer using and want to donate to a good home? One of the clients in our Independent Living Programs recently had his bike stolen. It was his main source of transportation and he is lost without it. If you are interested in helping him out, please call us at 860.521.8035.

Teddy is ready for Trick or Treating! He is also here for Pet Therapy - please call us at 860.313.1119 if you, or someone you love, is struggling with mental health challenges. The National Institute of Mental Health now recognizes animal-assisted therapy as a legitimate treatment for depression and other mood disorders. Therapy animals encourage feelings of wellbeing, reduce stress, and generally improve a person's physical or emotional function.

Our staff enjoyed the beautiful October weather today at our annual employee picnic - we couldn’t have asked for a better day! We love this opportunity to spend time together, enjoying each other’s company and indulging in a cookout courtesy of our very own Chef Amy. It is always a joy to celebrate this amazing team who give their all each day to support our children and families. Thank you for all that you do! 💙
