Mike Blaisdell and Ryan Boesse have become good friends
during the time they've
shared at Berkshire County Arc's respite program.
| Respite. The word suggest thoughts of rest, relief, and calm, quiet repose. It brings to mind a place apart from demanding and ongoing responsibilities, a place that rejuvenates us and lets us confront our lives' challenges renewed | and refreshed.
Berkshire County Arc's Respite Program at 123 Wealthy Avenue in Pittsfield fills the familiar and necessary role of relieving parents, guardians and other family members of the intense, |
twenty-four-hour responsibility of caring
for a disabled family member. Respite provides care givers with time
to rest and to attend to their relationships with each other.
