Easter Seals' Military Family Respite Program provides a critically important service for military families whose children have severe disabilities. Juggling the special care of their children with the demands of service to our nation places these families at the risk of burnout and other domestic challenges. Our intervention provides families with "time off" from parenting and specialized support for their children, creating a healthy and stable home."
"Our mission is to ensure high quality behavioral healthcare for children from birth through 17 and their families by:
Leading and supporting statewide efforts to establish and strengthen a comprehensive system of care for children and families; and
