There are a number of families who have expressed concerns and interest in talking about the future of their loved ones. We would like to bring people together about how circles might play a role. Please join us on October 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the Gathering Place – 850 King St W, Unit 20, Oshawa. Please RSVP to Tara McClure at 905-436-2500 ext. 2320 or tmcclure@dafrs.com.

 

 

Since July 2011, all adults with a developmental disability now access a single point of contact in their region to apply for all services and supports. The new regional contact points will: provide information, confirm eligibility for service and supports, determine service and support needs, link people to services and supports, and administer direct funding agreements in the future.
We hope to see you out to one of these information events.
