Support Group for Parent and Guardians of Adults with Disabilities and Autism

We are a parent and guardian run support group. Join a community of parents and guardians of adults with developmental delays, ID/D, and Autism. We help each other with problem solving, understanding adult services, transitioning to adult services, policy awareness, and advocacy. We plan activities for our population in the MDI community, including family potlucks, music, and games. 

Meetings are at the rectory of St. Savior’s Church in Bar Harbor on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 4:30.
