Our Vision
"Creating Community Connections"

Respiteservices.com connects agencies funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. We are collaborating to develop a more dynamic respite network for both children and adults in Dufferin.

The guiding principles of respiteservices.com are:

To develop a comprehensive respite system.
To develop and maintain a coherent access process for families of children requiring respite options.
To become a comprehensive information source regarding respite for adults accessing developmental services.
To facilitate respite options for individuals that match their identified needs.
To work closely with service providers to advocate for appropriate service options to meet the needs identified.
