Resource Updates!

in lifting others

The Transition Services Resource Fair , hosted by CCSD Transition Services and Marietta City Schools Department of Student Services, was last week.   It was a well organized event with two floors of organizations sharing their programs and services.

Walking through the tables, I saw the big names and familiar faces in our community as well as meeting new people and learning a lot.  It was exciting to see younger faces, high energy and fresh ideas.

The past few days I have sorted through the mounds of flyers I brought home and loaded the pertinent ones into The Ginkgo Link Resource Directory

Check out some of the categories with the newest information!

Education / 
Day Programs
This category includes IPSE programs, day programs, online learning and other educational programs.
Employment / 
Job Training
This category includes organizations which provide job training, support employment and hire.
Social / Recreation
This category includes adaptive recreation, social clubs, outings, camps, social therapies and other community engagement programs.
Medical / Personal Care
This category includes medical and dental resources, skilled nursing, personal caregivers and sitters.
General Support
This category covers advocacy, community connections and organizations which support individuals in a variety of ways across several areas.

I share any organization,  program or event in the West Cobb, Marietta, Acworth or Kennesaw community.  

We will also include resources that are less than a 10 mile drive from our community so you will see resources in Woodstock, Roswell, Hiram, Dallas, Smyrna and Sandy Springs included.  Once you get to Alpharetta, Douglasville, Atlanta, Buckhead, Canton and beyond I start to leave programs off the list as it strays from our purpose of being a local resource.

Online services or organizations which work virtually with individuals are also included.
