“We are here to serve you and the community”

Parent / Guardian Welcome Pack To Whom it May Concern; Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your family. Zarephath is committed to providing the best possible services to our member families. To insure our commitment to you and your family we welcome your input, suggestions and want you to know we care about what you think. We also have an open door policy, if you would like to attend an outing or visit a respite home, please just schedule in advance and we will be happy to accommodate you. Zarephath maintains employee guidelines that are above and beyond the Arizona requirements and we take great pride in our clinical supervision and training program led by Anne Cornell, M.A., N.C.C., L.P.C. It is our number one priority that we provide a safe respite experience from start to finish both in the respite home and out in the community. Our community based outing program helps children work on valuable life skills and peer to peer relationships. We will, from time to time, partner with existing community based agencies (Clubs, Sports Groups, Churches, Community Events, Etc.) when we do this, we will make available information regarding the specific community resource for you and your family. It is our goal to help you and your family identify helpful community based resources. We believe communication is the key to any successful relationship and we look forward to speaking with you and your family soon. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve. Sincerely, Mark A. Williams Program Manager
