PARENT RESOURCES
Sibshops - Summer 2024
Sibshops are a nationwide program specially designed to support siblings of those with special needs. Siblings often have the longest relationship with those who have a disability and tend to take on the role of caregiver to their brother or sister with special needs as adults. They also take on a lot of the stress and worry as children too. Sibshops are a fun, safe, and supportive opportunity for sibs to spend time having fun with other sibs who “get it”. We are blessed to have a gifted Sibshop facilitator here in Ottawa County, Andrèa Vugteveen. Families can contact her with questions, to register a sib, or to discuss scholarships at: amvugteveen@gmail.com or 616 460-3781 .
Housing Search Packet - Good Samaritan
Searching for housing, facing eviction, living in a car, in a shelter, or on the streets makes life even more complicated. The Good Samaritan housing team created this Housing Search Packet to give you some tangible leads toward finding solutions to your housing crisis.
