Youth Respite Program

Our Youth Respite Program can reduce overall family/caretaker stress by providing recreational activities away from the home.  Youth with social, emotional, and mental health challenges participate in a variety of person-centered activities with a trained Respite Worker. Enrolled youth will learn and explore different social-emotional, communication, and interpersonal skills through 1:1 and group activities, both on-site and in the community.

Program Eligibility:

• Resident of Ulster County
• Age 5-18
• Have a primary diagnosis of a Serious Emotional Disability (SED) & not primarily intellectually disabled
• Do not require 1:1 supervision in the community or have aggressive/ unsafe behaviors
