Supports and tools for caregivers
Caring for someone with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and mental health needs can bring joy, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. At the Creative Approach Development Center (CADC), we truly understand how important caregivers are in helping their loved ones thrive.
As a parent of children with disabilities and extra support needs, Dr. Z's heart is especially close to this track. She created it to ensure that caregivers feel seen, supported, and never alone in this journey.
Our workshops and resources are here to give you real, practical tools and strategies you can use daily. You’ll better understand the unique challenges your loved one may face, and you’ll build skills that support their independence and emotional well-being. Whether you’re a parent, family member, or caregiver by profession, these sessions are made for you.
Learn with us, share with others who get it, and feel more confident and connected in your caregiving path.
