Respite Program

The Respite Program is a facility-based program that provides a needed break for caregivers. Respite team members are CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) certified, trained in crisis prevention/interventions, and receive ongoing training in Positive Behavioral Support. The Respite team works with the Child and Family Team (CFT) to understand the individual needs of each child. During respite, the children participate in group games/activities, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and occasional group outings that focus on learning skills that help improve the quality of social interactions between caregivers, other adults, and peers. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided.  

The program meets on Saturday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and on Sunday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

At this time Touchstone provides Respite services at our Main Center located at 15820 N. 35th Avenue STE 14, Phoenix, AZ 85053
