November 18, 2022

The holiday season – especially Thanksgiving – can be stressful for any family, especially families creating a safe environment for someone with PWS! GRANDMA is an acronym that Patrice Carroll and her PWS Outreach Team created for families of someone with Prader-Willi syndrome. They are hopeful it helps you and your loved ones throughout the next couple of months. If you have any questions for Patrice and the team, contact admissions@lathamcenters.org.
