This Winter Retreat will be held at the lovely Whispering Pines
Center! The primary purpose of the retreat is to provide a relaxing and supportive environment for parents to reflect on, explore, and share the rewards and challenges of raising a child with A.S.D. Another purpose is to provide a brief get-away for parents to relax and enjoy themselves.

The location will be the Alton Jones Campus of the University of Rhode Island, a retreat center including lodge and cabins in a beautiful and tranquil setting about 30 minutes south of Providence. The accommodations are informal and comfortable, and the food is excellent.

Our thanks to Bailey’s Team for providing a grant to make this retreat possible!
