Caregiver Resources

In this section

Highland Friendship Club (HFC) currently serves people with disabilities. Along with those members come families and caregivers who play an essential role, as they not only provide support to members, but also get involved in other aspects of HFC from programs to event planning and more!

Informational workshops are periodically offered to the HFC community of parents and caregivers. These informational meetings include representatives from a variety of local service agencies and advocacy groups.

Topics covered have included:

  • Housing Forum 
  • This is Medicaid
  • Assistive Technology Workshop
  • Financial Steps for Caregivers
  • Sexuality for All Abilities: Supporting People with Disabilities and their Sexual Health

 

Additionally, HFC has a class specifically for parents and caregivers - Parents & Caregivers Weekly Appointment with Yourself. 
This online program offered every Saturday morning, is meant to refresh, relax and clear the mind. The program will introduce stretching, light yoga and low impact exercises. CHINSUP is led by a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in functional fitness. 
Register through HFC's ActiveNet platform.

"HFC has enhanced Tricia's life tremendously from teen years through transitioning to young adulthood. HFC has given us both a sense of belonging and helped Tricia with skills for living! Recently, Tricia was involved with a personal safety class. HFC addresses needs that parents often look for support with for their young adults. It's been wonderful."
