The CARE Project in Idaho
The CARE Project (TCP) is a nonprofit organization that has hosted over 30 family retreats in 10 states over the past 8 years. The CARE Project is dedicated to bringing hope to families who have children and/or adults with hearing loss through counseling experiences aimed at processing the emotional stages of grief. They aid families in processing grief through these family retreats that are organized and funded by The CARE Project. The retreats are 2-3 day experiences full of informational seminars, family-to-family bonding time, breakout groups for moms, dads, siblings, and children who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as social activities for any and all. An amazing amount of emotions are processed and families are able to form close bonds with each other due to having very important issues in common. In 2018 Idaho Sound Beginnings has partnered with TCP to bring a family retreat to Idaho. During this session participants will learn about the family’s journey raising a child with hearing loss, how to include the entire family in ‘family support’, how to plan and carry out a family retreat, and lessons learned from Idaho’s first retreat for families of children with hearing loss.
- Learn about the family journey in raising a child with hearing loss.
- Learn how family support can be provided to the whole family
- Learn ideas for developing and implementing a family support model that engages the whole family
