Message From Founder
The academic curriculum at "Get A Life" is rich and full of all the skills needed for our children to thrive and move forward in today's competitive school environment. However, the biggest contribution we give to our children is a nurturing environment that takes in to account the family dynamics that may be going on during family illness. This part of the center's routine includes making every child feel inclusive of a second family and making them feel significant within that family. This helps each child to feel that everyday routine is still a normal part of their lives.
Children coping with illness or loss in their family need to have this type of setting. As well, we offer mentoring to the parents who are going through this time, sharing our experience and letting parents going through illness form support with one another.
The next phase of our program is identifying each family's particular needs based on the family's exact crisis. This also includes referrals to resources that help them to navigate through their crisis. These referrals include... psychological counseling, insurance counseling, parenting skills, holistic and alternative healthcare and more.
These services and referrals have proven invaluable to parents and their children as they move through the family illness and the financial and mental struggles that are associated with it.
