We are thrilled to continue our virtual FAMILY CONNECTION PROGRAM that began in 2020. This program is intended to bring parents and loved ones together to provide support and insight to one another in a safe and comforting environment. These groups are targeted to a specific age or part of the Down Syndrome journey to ensure the content is relevant and relatable for all attendees. Please know that these groups are hosted by DSAP volunteers in our community. In advance, THANK YOU to Kate, Ashley, Jamie, Chriss, Lisa S., Matt, Mike, Lisa R., Meredith, Mindi, Shannon, Nicole, & Betsy for your generous donation of time and service. If you are interested in becoming a facilitator, reach out to Meredith.
Individual sign ups are listed for each event. All events are FREE and open to ALL.

"The Family Connection sessions have been a wonderful resource for me as we live an hour north from the city. It’s not easy for us to attend play dates or family events. It’s been a very special place to share our stories, give & receive advice, offer suggestions, and confide in like minded mammas. Thank you for this platform"💓 -Nikki Goodmote
