A monthly opportunity to chat and network with other families with a family member with Down syndrome.

It’s a great opportunity to meet others from across the state, and to connect with DSV’s Debby Fraumano. The conversation is informal, so bring your cuppa and any topics or questions you might want to discuss.
This month we will be talking about social media: concerns and advice.
