To support these families and young adults, the Association has formed a new support group to explore the issues pertinent to these families including:

• Parent meetings are generally held every other month on the first Monday of the month at Kent ISD Educational Building (2930 Knapp NE) from 6:30-8:30pm.  Young adults and teens are invited to accompany their parents for supervised social activities. 

• Social Events for Teens and Young Adults are held monthly (September-May).
