Hi everyone, I’ve been caring for my brother who has an intellectual disability, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. We have services for his daily needs, but what I feel is missing is a safe place for families like ours to share experiences. Do you know if there are any good support groups for intellectual disability in NYC?

I hear you—it can be really tough without a community to lean on. One resource you might find helpful is Gateway Counseling Center. On their programs page, they list different services and options for families and individuals, including access to support groups for intellectual disability https://www.gccnyc.org/what-we-offer . These groups give caregivers a chance to exchange advice, reduce stress, and connect with others who truly understand the challenges. It’s also a great way to learn about new opportunities and resources in the area.
