Community Respite Program @ NWT Disabilities Council

Respite Program for Local Communities provides social respite service to families outside of Yellowknife who have children with special needs. The goal of a respite service is to provide safe, individualized, and flexible respite support to families and primary caregivers. It offers young people with disabilities more opportunities for inclusion in their community while respecting cultural values. (Those requiring respite must be living in the same home with their family or legal guardian.)
