Bridges, through a variety of out-of-home programs, provides temporary relief to parents and guardians from the physical and emotional demands involved in caring for a family member with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Respite gives families time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Along with providing families with relief, respite participants have the opportunity to develop social interaction and leisure skills within a group.

Geneva Centre for Autism is also a member of the Respite Cluster, a community-wide respite network, facilitated by respiteservices.com

respiteservices.com is now being hosted at 37 communities in Ontario.  To find out what respite options are available in your area, please visit respiteservices.com.
