CVR to Host Family Support Group and Information Session

The event will last for approximately an hour and light refreshments will be served.

Eatontown, NJ - The Center for Vocational Rehabilitation (CVR) will be hosting a family support group and information session at 12pm on Thursday January 2, 2014. The event will be held at CVR’s Eatontown facility and is open to all family members, friends, guardians and caregivers of individuals with special needs.

“Our goal for our support and information session is to continue to educate people responsible for individuals with special needs on the resources and techniques available to them as caregivers,” said Dr. Jennifer Nangano, Director of Behavioral Health at CVR. “At times it can be overwhelming to take care of someone with special needs and CVR recognizes that we not only need to support individuals with special needs, but we need to support the people who take care of them as well. Our goal of this session is to increase the group member’s knowledge of symptoms, treatment, and etiology of mental illness, while enhancing their awareness of community resources that assist both the individual and persons involved. We also give session attendees opportunities to share their experiences."

The event will last for approximately an hour and light refreshments will be served. 

If you are interested in attending, please contact Dr. Jennifer Nangano Phone – (732) 544-1800 ext 217
