We want to thank our friends at the Autism Society of North Carolina for sharing this quick-reference guide with us on how to best support Autistic kids and teens after a tragedy like the tornadoes in Wisconsin earlier this week. Our thoughts continue to go out to all those impacted by the storm.

If you were impacted by the severe weather yesterday and are in need of emergency respite support, the Respite Care Association of Wisconsin may be able to help. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19CyC7J2hs/

Today's tornadoes and severe weather across the Fox Valley are a reminder that caregiving doesn't stop during a crisis.

When severe weather, natural disasters, or other unexpected events disrupt daily life, family caregivers often face additional challenges while continuing to care for a loved one.

If a caregiving crisis arises because of storm damage, displacement, injury, or another emergency, the Caregiver Respite Grant Program (CRGP) may be able to provide emergency respite assistance for eligible Wisconsin caregivers.

Emergency respite can help when a caregiver's ability to provide care is unexpectedly disrupted, allowing time to address immediate recovery needs, housing concerns, medical issues, cleanup efforts, or other urgent matters.

Learn more about the Caregiver Respite Grant Program (CRGP) and other caregiver support resources on RCAW's website.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with caregivers, community organizations, emergency response partners, and others who may be supporting Wisconsin families.
