Stories

Julie's Story

I first became interested in CRi when I was referred by a former employee.

"I first became interested in CRi when I was referred by a former employee. I got involved with CRi through chance, & I am so happy I did.

By being part of the CRi family, I have learned patience, kindness & that I can be a part of the greater good.

During my time at CRi, I have met the most wonderful people. I have seen lives change for the better & I know that our mission matters because I see it in practice every day."

-Julie Dwyer-Allen, CRi Senior Clinical Director

Embracing Challenges

COVID-19 challenged the disability support community, & the world, in ways no one could have imagined. Social isolation, program closures, health & safety concerns, staffing shortages, & policy changes are just a few examples of the pandemic's impact on an industry that already works harder than many to support some of the region's most vulnerable populations.
