Join us for Thrive Night on Februray 7th!

This night is designed to provide a fun, safe environment for children and give you a break to recharge your battery!  

Your child will be paired with volunteers whose main goal will be to spend quality time having fun and caring for them. Kids will enjoy dozens of FUN resilience based activities aimed at growing their self-esteem, peer connections and self-worth. It's pretty much the best thing ever if you are a kid...at least that's what they tell us!

While the kids are having a blast, the Pause team will be hosting an adult only evening of entertainment, community and education...but, not education in a 9th grade Algebra way.  Because BORING...sorry math fanatics! All kidding aside, we really just want to talk about things that REALLY matter in your 24 hour day!  

!!!WARNING!!!:  There will be laughing.  And fun.  And meaningful conversations with people who get it and are in the same place you are.  <GASP>

Families will have the opportunities to choose a breakout session in the following registration. Couples do not have to attend breakout sessions together so choose what fits for each of you individually!

Sibling Workshop aka Sib Shop will be available for kiddos 5 and up! Siblings can have their own nuanced experiences being part of a special needs family. Sib Shop is a safe space to process the joys and hard things with peers that get it.  What is new about the Pause Sib Shop?  We've added more fun and opportunities to build resilience and connections with peers!  In fact, kids who have attended in Fall 2025, have made it their personal mission to grow the number of siblings attending because it's been so impactful! 

*Registration available for Green/Dark Blue families enrolled in the Pause Respite Program.
