Children’s Respite @ Inclusion Langley Society

​Respite provides rest and renewal to primary caregivers for children – youth with special needs. Referrals and funding come from the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Respite Service Coordinators match qualified and screened caregivers to families whose children with special needs live at home. Respite helps parents spend time together or with their other children or youth, or do things they would not usually be able to do. During respite, family members can also have time to pursue their own interests, or spend time alone or with someone special. While respite helps families reduce stress, family wellness only occurs when respite enables families to feel renewed and confident enough to take time away from caring for their children​
