Quality Living Programs All Through The Year

At CAMP Rehoboth, the Health and Wellness programs cover more than HIV prevention, education & testing—they cover a full gamut of health programs to help the community live full and productive lives. Wellness programs focus on preventive and positive care, improving socialization, and support. All Health and Wellness programs are organized by Sal Seeley, many require registration, many are free, and all are presented by thoughtful experts in their fields.

Here is a round-up of programs available through CAMP Rehoboth this Fall.

Discussion Group
CAMP Rehoboth, last Tuesday of each month. September 25 at 6 p.m.

They can raise questions, share resources, network, and listen to the experiences of other parents whose children are gender diverse.
