Seven Hills Foundation Announces CMRP
The Central Massachusetts Respite Project (CMRP) is a collaboration between Seven Hills Foundation, the Central Massachusetts Partnership for Children and Youth with Special Health Needs, UMASS Memorial Children’s Medical Center, Quinsigamond Community College and the Massachusetts Consortium for Children with Special Health Care Needs. The goal of the CMRP is to develop a respite program for children, youth, and adults with special health care needs in Central Massachusetts. This program trains potential care givers, provides them with the opportunity for a “real life” practicum experience, and encourages them to continue working in a field that has a huge demand with few available workers. More than 1,500 families in Worcester County currently qualify for this kind of care. This program is funded through a generous grant from the Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts.
This program reduces isolation for families, provides respite care where none exists, develops a practicum that leads to a career path, and reduces family stressors.
For more information, please go to www. sevenhills.org/cmrp.html or contact CMRP Program Director Celia Brown at 508.755.2340 or cbrown@sevenhills.org.
