Central Oregon Disability Support Network (CODSN) is a non-profit offering support to families navigating disability in eight counties throughout Oregon. We offer a variety of services for our families, and we love what we do! 

One of our favorite services is our Jason's Run & Recharge Family Respite Night: a relaxing night of self-care for caregivers to recharge their batteries! Self-care is vital for the wellbeing of all caregivers, and it can be difficult for caregivers of children with disabilities to access. This program provides unpaid caregivers an opportunity to receive 3 free hours of childcare once every three months. This event is on select Wednesdays from 5-8pm. Come play with kids for 3 hours while their caregivers have a night out! This would be a phenomenal opportunity for youth and families to help out together!

You do not need to commit to each respite night to help!

Skills Strengthened Through This Opportunity:

Communication and active listening skills with people of all agesIdentifying and implementing accommodation strategiesExperience promoting equity and inclusionA deeper understanding that everyone has the ability to learn, think, and understand, and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Flexibility and creative thinkingSelf-management skillsQuick decision making

Greet each child and their family, and help them feel welcome.Foster an environment where children and their families feel safe and supported.Encourage children to connect with one another and support their social-emotional development.Actively engage in activities and provide any accommodations and/or support needed for all children to participate.
