Durham Association for Family Respite Services
|
|
|
| Our Association has supported families with children and adults with developmental disabilities
and children with physical disabilities and/or high medical needs in Durham region since 1978. We support about 500
families each year. |
| Our regular programs include in and out of home respite, community nursing, day support and
independent living. All of our services aim to augment a family’s natural capacity and commitment to support their
child of any age to live well within the community. We understand that it is families who make the difference
for their child on a day to day basis and who hold the vision for their child’s future. |
| The Association is governed by a Board of between 8 and 12 Directors. Meetings are held on a
regular monthly basis. At times, ad hoc committees are struck to deal with specific issues, and Director
participation is determined individually for these. We also support regular Board training through in-house and
community workshops and events. |
