GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.— Parents and caregivers of school-age children with special needs are invited to join a free, weekly online support group to talk about their experiences and to connect with other caregivers.
 
The meetings take place Wednesdays from 9-10 a.m. via Zoom, and are facilitated by Rania Markham, social media intern with CHP Family Services. The group is open to any parents or caregivers in Berkshire County. Pre-registration is required.
 
"Raising a child with special needs can be challenging, even in the best of times," said Markham. "And especially during the pandemic, feelings of isolation have been overwhelming for many families. This group provides support, camaraderie and caregiver connections."
