Family Care Unit supports Autism and more

Unfortunately, today, many marriages end in divorce or separation. Statistics show an even higher rate of divorce when an autistic child is part of the family. Regardless of how much love and understanding you both may have towards your child, it is true that autism is a matter that is very difficult to deal with, and it is not uncommon for there to be a great deal of strain on the marriage. It is very important to try to remain positive about your situation, and to work to keep your marriage healthy. By doing so, you and your spouse can avoid marital problems. It will be difficult, but you can survive the trials of caring for an autistic child.

Our goals are to work closely with each married couple and family to help them cope with everyday challenges. We are a witness that challenges do come however you can and will make it.
