Free event for parents and caregivers of children with special health care needs


The Regional Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs is offering opportunities to connect with families in the area to share resources regarding services for children with disabilities/ special health care needs.

A “Connect & Share” event will take place at Pizza Ranch in Rhinelander from 5 to 7 p.m. this evening, with dinner provided for families.

 Allison Lourash, program manager, noted that families in rural areas are often looking for resources for their children with disabilities and can travel far for services. 

“We see many referrals from the area, so we wanted to offer a ‘Connect and Share’ to provide resources and also offer an opportunity to connect other families,” she said. “It is also an opportunity to make a Care Notebook to organize your child’s information and track services.”

For more information, call 715-261-1906 or email [email protected].

The Northern Regional Center’s goal is to meet the needs of children and youth with special needs by focusing on the unique strengths of family members, responding to all requests in a timely manner, by finding resources as close to home as possible, and by working with local partners collaboratively to serve children and their families. The organization serves 15 counties and 6 tribal nations in Northern Wisconsin.
