As parents know, it takes a team to support a loved one with developmental special needs—and the team is often the family members. At RVRN, where many of our board members are themselves the parents of children with special needs, we know the path can feel lonely. RVRN seeks to end the isolation by bringing parents and caregivers together to share practical insights, resources, inspiration, and healing.

Monthly Zoom calls, and periodic face-to-face meetings during programs, bring parents and caregivers together to create a supportive sense of community. These gatherings offer opportunities to discuss life experiences, challenges of caring for our dear loved ones, and celebration of their step-by-step progress.
