The Massachusetts DPH Division for Children & Youth with Special Health Needs is pleased to sponsor this informative live event for parents & caregivers:

Preparing for Caring during COVID19: Step by Step Strategies for Families of Children with Special Health Needs
with Carrie Noseworthy and Cheryl Ryan Chan

This free webinar will provide practical, easy-to-follow strategies to help families be ready if a parent or caregiver should become hospitalized and someone else needs to care for their loved one in this time of COVID-19.

Carrie Noseworthy, founder of “A Safer Me” and Cheryl Ryan Chan, person-centered planner are local community leaders and topic experts, both parents of children with disabilities who have lived experience.

*The live, captioned event will be recorded & posted on mass.gov. For this reason, we ask our audience to please refrain from sharing personal information during the recording. We will provide contact information to answer individual questions following the webinar.

By hosting this helpful presentation, we hope to promote the importance of having an emergency care plan for families of children with special health needs in any health care crisis, and particularly during this concerning time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We hope you will help us get the word out to families and to those professionals who are interested in this important topic.
