Free: Parents of Those with Special Needs Support Group

Parents of those with special needs face challenges every day and night. They love their children unconditionally, but it can be mentally and physically draining. Join "Special" Mom, Kathleen Merritt, who will lead our new support group for Caregivers of Children with Special Needs. Licensed Social Worker, Christine Ford, will assist in providing a listening ear and inspiration. Hosted by Pillars of Light and Love, a 501 c3 Non Profit. Pillars of Light and Love is a non-profit launched on March 2, 2015 by business owner Kathy Opperman. The main focus of the non-profit is Stress and Life Management for all ages. Our goal is to educate children, teens and adults to reduce stress, have strong self-esteem, overcome anxiety and depression, build confidence, and achieve better coping techniques, positive communication skills, and healthy relationships. We believe education will help bring awareness and improve the lives of those experiencing challenges such as depression, eating disorders, bullying, addictions, stress disorders, relationship issues, a difficult diagnosis, and emotional and physical abuse. Pillars of Light and Love offers educational workshops and is located at the Empowering U Center in Trappe, PA. Donations raised for Pillars fund many workshops and are used to provide free services at the Center such as Massage, Life Coaching, Emotional Freedom Technique, Myofascial Release and other Anxiety and Stress Relief services to those with serious illnesses, Caregivers of Special Needs children and adults, as well as Disabled Veterans. These services are also available to the general public. Applications for free services are acquired through Staff@PillarsofLightandLove.org.
