Connecting is a support group for parents of special needs kids...Know that you are not alone

WHEN/WHERE: First and third Monday of each month (starting October 19, 2009) from 9-10:30 am at Banner of Christ Church, 1111 68th St. SW, Byron Center, MI
DESCRIPTION: Raising a child that has special needs is both a challenge and a blessing. We, as parents, often end up being faced with challenges and emotions that we don’t expect. This is a new support group is designed to provide information and emotional support for parents and caregivers of children with special needs. The more we learn, the better we will be able to cope with our unique journey. Today there are many children that have special needs including; Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Bipolar, Developmental Delays, and various other behavior, sensory, learning and mental health disorders. This is a safe place to come to meet together, share and receive tips such as treatments, supplements, therapies, coping techniques and doctor recommendations, or just to talk and receive support. We do not claim to be professionals, but caring parents supporting each other through daily challenges. Join us on this path, and together, with God’s help, we will raise our very special kids.
