information, and choice through multi-media information and
resources, education, training materials and opportunities, and
parent-to-parent support groups and activities.
Support Through Information
Our library houses more than 6,100 books, pamphlets, journals,
audio-visual media materials, and HRC publications about services
and supports.
Support Through Education and Training
HRC offers informative presentations and training groups on a
wide range of topics. Take a look at our calendar for upcoming
trainings. Depending upon your child’s age and needs, your HRC
Service Coordinator may also refer you to parent education
group to help you support your child’s development in early
childhood development, speech and language, adaptive daily living
skills, and positive behaviors.
Support Through People
HRC offers you several ways to connect with other parents and
siblings of people with developmental disabilities. Through the
Harbor Family Resource Centers, you can find parent support
groups, or talk one-on-one with parent mentors. Sibling Clubs are
offered for children ages 6-16 who have a brother or sister with
a developmental disability. Our Together From the Start program
for families of infants and toddlers features classes such as
Infant Massage, and Mommy/Daddy and Me activities, and even a
Learning Cafe to get together, have a cup of coffee, and relax
with fellow parents. Check the Calendar for days and times for
these fun and educational sessions.
