Experience Pause

Your voice. Your choice.

Rest.

We’re here to give a break.
Giving parents a time to exhale and refuel can be critical for positive outcomes.  

Parent's Day/Night Out: Three hours of fun and socialization in a safe space with people who get it. Led by trained staff and our amazing team of volunteers.

Pause Virtual Hangouts: Individualized sessions for children ages 5 and up to connect with trained volunteers and share fun experiences together (materials included).

Rest & Resilience: Smaller respite events embedding resilience building and fun for new families or those with more complex needs who thrive in smaller environments!

Support.

Resources are on the way.
Every family's story is unique. So, we give space to share it.

Pause Family Conversations: A time for the family to share their story, get a tour of the Pause space, and customize their Pause experience.

Pause University: Pause sponsored virtual and in-person parent education options specific to the world of extra needs - because context matters.

Pause Family Network: Our private caregiver community on Facebook to link into resources, ask advice, and receive encouragement.

Connection.

Bottom Line: Families often feel alone.
Pause creates opportunities for families to build natural support systems.

Thrive Night: Large group opportunities for caregivers to get a break, gain valuable information and meet other families similar to theirs. #PauseFamilyFavorite

Thrive Day/Night Out: Small group event to remind Pause caregivers they are enough. With good food and intentional conversation, there's an opportunity to build connections and create community among caregivers.

Unlimited by Pause: Sunday morning ministry in partnership with local churches to support children with differing needs.

Fun.

Oh, and we value fun.
Here at Pause, we capitalize on good old fashioned family bonding.
