Jill's House/Kilmer Center
Parent Support Group
Monday, September 19th 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Find Your Way to Support and Resources
Hello Parents!
The Kilmer Center / Jill’s House Parent Support Group is reconvening for the 2022-23 School Year! This will be our seventh year holding the Parent Support Group with our partners at Jill’s House! Jill’s House is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing respite and support to families raising children with intellectual disabilities. Kilmer Center has partnered with Jill’s House for more than ten years to provide a weekday overnight respite program for our students, and we work closely together to meet the needs of our mutual families. Please note that your child does not need to be participating in the Jill’s House program to attend our Parent Support Group.
The Parent Support Group offers a great opportunity to meet other parents, share your story and hear from others, as well as learn of or pass along useful information and resources. At each meeting, we will focus on a topic of interest, and you can participate in the discussion or just come to listen.
The group meetings are facilitated by Dana Hecht and Deonne Snare from the Family Support office at Jill’s House, and Cara Fratta, School Psychologist, and Andrea Bylykbashi, School Social Worker, at Kilmer Center. Last year, we were joined by Dr. Liz Maury, a specialist in child development, and Reva Guimont, who works with families transitioning their special needs children to adulthood. Liz and Reva will be again attending some of our meetings this year and we look forward to them joining us!
We will continue to hold meetings virtually using the Microsoft Teams platform. All meetings will be on a monthly basis on Monday evenings from 7pm to 8pm. Our first meeting is coming up on Monday, September 19, 2022.
If you are planning to join a Parent Support Group meeting, please RSVP directly to Deonne Snare at Jill’s House (deonne.snare@jillhouse.org) so she can share the meeting link about 30 minutes prior to starting.
Listed below are the meeting dates until the end of 2022 to put on your calendar and we will share 2023 dates soon. A reminder about the Parent Support Group Meeting will go out each month in a Kilmer Center News You Choose.
