For over fifty years, since the Council On Mental Retardation was created by a group of concerned parents, Parent Outreach activities have been a core part of the Council! About 25 years ago on a more formal basis, the Parent Outreach program was established because parents realized the tremendous benefits they gained through their interactions with one another. Since that time the Council has provided a staff person who works with the Parent Outreach Committee to develop ways to facilitate ongoing friendships between parents of infants, children, and adult children with mental retardation.

Planning for the Future of Our Children

Planning For The Future of Their Children With Disabilities

Where do we begin to figure out a safe, secure plan for our children when we are no longer able to care for them?  Where will they live?  Who will see to it that their needs are met?

The Council on Mental Retardation has helped families for over 50 years to figure out the answers to these questions.  We would like to help you.

Please join other families at the Day Spring Community Resource Center, 3430 Day Spring Court, 40213,  for five valuable evening of information.

The next series of meetings will begin in August of 2008. 

All meetings are from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

Please confirm attendance by calling: Susan Lawrence
