- Grief Work Book Available: We all need to talk about our feelings when someone close to us has died. This can be particularly difficult for individuals with intellectual or communication challenges. To help facilitate healthy grieving for these individuals, clinicians from Wildwood and The Community Hospice have developed a workbook entitled, "A Very Special Person Has Died". The workbook was presented at the NYSACRA Conference with very positive reviews. For further information &/or a free copy, contact emarrone@wildwood.edu.
- Wildwood Programs was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the New York State Psychological Association for being a psychologically healthy work place. The award is presented by the NYSPA, a private non-profit professional organization whose mission is to advance the science and practice of psychology while supporting excellence in education, training, research, advocacy and service. Wildwood was recognized for excellence in employee communication, employee involvement and employee family support.
