Parent Support Group

Courageous Community Services offers support to parents and caregivers of children and adults with disabilities.

Caring for an individual with a developmental disability can feel challenging or isolating. At Courageous Community Services, we offer programming grounded in community, connections, and support for relatives and friends. Together, we’re supporting one another in working towards a world focused on abilities. We provide resources, information, and support for caregivers of children and adults with developmental disabilities. We offer an opportunity for caregivers to take time to rejuvenate and focus on their needs.

Contact Korinne Ritenour, Parent Support Coordinator, at korrinner@ccsohio.org for more information.

Respite

It is your turn to enjoy a day or evening out while we have fun with your loved one in a supportive and structured environment with specially trained professionals.

Parent and Caregiver Training

We provide resources and opportunities for caregivers to learn about services and supports for their loved ones.

Helping You!

Caregivers of children and adults with disabilities can feel very alone. But you are NOT alone! There are many other parents and family members in the same situation that you are. Being with others that have a similar family life to you can help you find solutions that you hadn’t previously considered!

Disability and Health Promotion

If you are a family member who cares for someone with a disability, whether a child or an adult, combining personal, caregiving, and everyday needs can be challenging. This site has information for family caregivers such as yourself to help you and those you care for stay safe and healthy.

Caregivers need care, too!

This is a reminder to take good care of yourself as you’re engaged in providing support, assistance, and care for others.

Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council

The Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council is made up of over 30 members, with the majority being individuals with developmental disabilities, and parents and guardians of people with developmental disabilities who are appointed by the Governor of Ohio.
