Illinois Respite Coalition & National Respite Coalition
The Illinois Respite Coalition is dedicated to increasing
public awareness of the importance of lifespan respite,
promoting education and training for users and providers of
respite services; and advocating support for families and
providers by insuring universal access to quality respite
services for the residents of the state of Illinois. To

all families and caregivers in need of such services in order
to strengthen and stabilize families, and enhance child and
adult safety. To learn more about the National Respite Coalition,
