We are offering a full-day training for parents, professionals, or organizations who are interested in developing and running their own retreat. The training will be the day before the retreat weekend, on October 11, 2019 and will be followed by your participation in the actual retreat over the weekend. You will come away with the specific skills and supports, which we have developed over 20 years, to run a successful retreat through your agency or group. The training will be conducted by the developers of the “Reflecting on the Journey” retreat model: Dr. Barry Prizant (Brown University); Dr.Elaine Meyer (Harvard University); and staff of Community Autism Resources (CAR) including Ms. Barbara Domingue, Founder and Executive Director of CAR. If you are interested in receiving information about the retreat training, which will be limited to 10-16 participants*, please contact us at: bprizant@gmail.com.

– two nights stay at the beautiful and secluded Whispering Pines Conference Center, including all meals from Friday morning through lunch Sunday afternoon
