MEETING FOR PARENTS: 
"Next Steps for Families of Newly Diagnosed Children"

CNNH, in partnership with Statewide Parent to Parent (NJ P2P) - a program of SPAN - hosts "Next Steps" parent meetings for families. "Next Steps" is a group where parents of newly diagnosed children and youth with special needs come together to learn from each other, as well as gain access to new information, support and resources. Through these meetings, we hope to grow a network of educated and empowered parents. 

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 19th from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at CNNH in Voorhees (click on link to register). Dr. Gregory Alberts, CNNH Neuropsychologist and Deepa Srinivasavaraden, SPAN Family Resource Specialist, will facilitate the meeting.
