Dragonfly Pond
 

Goals

It has been determined that children with complex care needs and/or disabilities and their families in the South Okanagan need support in a variety of ways. In response to these needs, the goals of Dragonfly Pond Family Respite are to provide coordinated services that will:

  • Enhance existing programs by coordinating services and programs in a way that creates links and partnerships that will support the promotion of healthy families and strengthen support services for families.
  • Reduce isolation, burn out and crisis within families by providing a range of support services.
  • Provide community-based programs within each geographic centre to strengthen support at the community level.
  • Increase community awareness and involvement through volunteerism, in-kind contributions and financial support.
  • Reduce the need for more costly care and services through a preventative focus.
