"Healing Families" Continues To Touch LivesLast spring, HEAL sponsored a "pilot" support group for mothers under the direction of Janeen Herskovitz. Our mission was to design a program which would educate, empower, validate and give hope to mothers as they navigate the difficult and challenging maze of autism. It was our intent to target mothers in crisis, who were within three years of receiving their child's diagnosis of autism. The program proved to be a success, and as a result of these women coming together weekly, many positive transformations have taken place in their lives. These mothers have continued to meet and lend support to each other long after the HEALing sessions ended.

Oh My Gosh, thank you so much! The Valley of Dreams Gala and Charity Golf Classic once again surpassed our expectations. I am overwhelmed and touched by our community who have wrapped their arms around our children and embraced our cause.
